Here we are, Martin’s fans…It’s officially December! How can that be?! While it seems like some weeks (and months) this year have dragged on forever, the holiday season always seems to go by in the blink of an eye. But this year, let’s make sure to slow down for just a moment to consider the things we’re thankful for, show love and support to those around us, and appreciate the true meaning of these winter holidays—especially at Christmastime.
Christmas 2020 will surely look very different than in years past. Some families may utilize the convenience of technology to connect with one another virtually from afar. Younger generations may find themselves attempting to recreate traditional family recipes by themselves. Perhaps some households will even build a brand new tradition they will cherish for years to come!
Whatever kind of Christmas you are planning this year, make it one to remember! Scroll down to find delicious meal ideas—from post-present-opening brunch, to late-night leftovers.
Very Merry Christmas Recipes
Whether you wake up in matching family “jammies” and eat brunch around the Christmas tree or get decked out in formal attire for a fancy showstopper evening meal—we hope these hand-selected Christmas meal ideas will help make your holiday celebration “very merry” indeed!
Breakfast or Brunch: Sugar Plum French Toast Casserole

Mid-Afternoon Meal: Slow Cooker Glazed Ham Dinner Platter
If you’ll be preparing the Christmas entrée for the first time this year or are expecting a smaller gathering than usual, this crock pot glazed ham recipe is the perfect solution! Simply add a fully-cooked ham to your slow cooker (we used a 3-lb ham, but larger would work as well), along with orange juice, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, balsamic vinegar, and honey, and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Serve the sliced ham topped with drippings, alongside mashed potatoes or stuffing, steamed veggies, and buttered Martin’s Dinner Rolls.

Late Night Meal: Leftover Ham Sandwiches
If your family tends to eat its main holiday feast in mid-afternoon around 3:00 or 4:00, you may find yourself getting hungry again around 8:00 or even right before bed. Our go-to option? Repurpose your leftover glazed ham from earlier in the day. It makes for delicious sandwiches on Martin’s 12-Sliced Slider Potato Rolls, with a bit of honey mustard or fruit spread. This no-cook scenario is the perfect solution to your late night holiday cravings!
