Christmas dinner again!

[ODFOx]

I know it's been done to death but I love it every year so: what do include and (if it may be slightly off piste) why??
This year:
Roast Turkey. We had some guests who don't eat pork so I did a full turkey with cranberry forcemeat wrapped in bacon and a turkey crown with lemons in the rib cage dressed with oil and pepper.
Roast potatoes
Mashed potatoes
Braised spiced red cabbage
Steamed baby Sprouts
Green beans
Tenderstem broccoli
Roast carrots and parsnips
Mashed carrots and swede with butter and pepper
Pigs in blankets
Devils on horseback
3 additional stuffings (one based on sausage meat, 2 veggie)
Gravy (using only the drippings snd stock from the pork free joint.
I was prepped for a veggie gravy but it wasn't needed.
Cranberry and bread sauces.

Puds on offer were Christmas pudding, sticky toffee pudding, Yule log, fruit salad, fruit salad and whipped cream on a pavlova.

We had a bit of a crew to feed so the choices made sense.
What did you have and what was your highlight?

Embarrassingly for me the mashed carrot and swede was so much the highlight, delicious, peppery and buttery that the rest passed me by!!
Please, tell he your dinner and what you loved best.

Did you say you have guests that don't eat pork but wrapped the Turkey in bacon or am I confused

Why would you wrapt the turkey if they don't eat pork, was it for religious reason they don't eat it for the fact that the have a medical issues with eating pork?

I have IBS and cannot eat pork or anything cooking in pork/with pork it makes me so unwell. I wouldn't have been able to eat that turkey....

Your dinner sounds delicious! I have one question though - what is a devil on horseback?

I think it was one turkey wrapped in bacon and then also a pork-free turkey crown

Also says gravy made from pork-free joint)

Turkey (wet brine: oranges, garlic, onion, rosemary, sage, oregano, thyme, kosher salt, pepper, brown sugar, water) boiled this cooled it down and kept the turkey in this brine for 24 hrs.
Then made a garlic and herb butter to inject the turkey with and smoothered it under and over the skin (lovely..)

Pigs in blankets
Chestnuts and sprouts with bacon lardons
Mashed swede with butter salt pepper and cinnamon (try it, it's lush!)
Bacon joint cooked in ginger beer
Cauli / broc / leak cheese
Yorkshire puddings
Tenderstem broc
Goose fat roast potatoes
Stuffing
Peas
Parsnips (I hate them but others love them)
