Christmas day food, nibbles and drinks.

[becks]

Hi Just wondering what everyone else eats and drinks on Christmas day? This is what we normally have...

Breakfast ~ Usually something quick like tea and toast or maybe some cereal.


Lunch ~

Starter... Prawn cocktail with salad or breaded garlic mushrooms with salad and mayonnaise dip.

Main... Roast Turkey or Roast Beef with mashed buttery potatoes, Roast potatoes, carrots, broccoli, roasted parsnips, stuffing, Yorkshire puddings, pigs in blankets and lovely thick gravy.

Dessert ~ hot choc fudge cake with fresh cream.

Nibbles throughout the day and evening ~ Tin of chocs, Pringles, choc oranges and any other unhealthy treats.. Lol.

We normally have something really light in the evening if we get peckish.

Our Christmas day drinks include anything from wine, Bucks fizz, fresh fruit juice and the odd hot drink... Lol.

What do you have? X

for breakfast last year the kids had snowman crumpets and i made cinnamon rolls along with CHOCOLATE! you can't not have choccie for breakfast on xmas day!

dinner my mam does, turkey with all the veg and trimmings. Pudding my mam normally picks something but i take my own asda smartprice trifle, me and the kids absoloutly love it :') were easily pleased. I hate xmas pud and i'm not a big cheesecake or similar person.
My mam doesn't do nibbles but for tea i'll normally do a few party food bits if were peckish and i have the usual xmas sweets out and nuts and raisin mix, turkish delight, after eights.

I don't drink much on xmas day tbh i save myself for boxing day when i get the kids babysat on the night but i'll have a glass of bucksfizz or two with my dinner.

Exactly the same as you just minus the starter and on the night around 7PM we usually have a turkey sandwich or some cheese and crackers because we get a bit nibbly! Then some wine or cider! (Obviously not me this year!) xxx

For breakfast I open up the nice tin of biscuits with a nice cup of tea. OH will do bacon butties for himself, DS, FIL, my mum and dad. DD will have weetabix or crumpets.

Christmas dinner we have at my mums, we have Turkey, pork, boiled and roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, pigs in blankets, stuffing and gravy.
Pudding is chocolate log and cream, christmas pudding for my dad.

For the past 8-9 years we have gone to my MIL's for a buffet tea, this year we are going back home afteer we've been to my parents for dinner. My parents and sister will come to ours for tea and I'm just going to do baps, put some pringles and choc fingers etc out on the table so they can help themselves.

Breakfast- not sure yet, I want to do something special this year
Lunch- turkey, roast ham, stuffing, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire puddings, veg, roast potatoes and gravy, followed by trifle or other cold pudding as no one likes Christmas pudding
Dinner- usually go to SIL for buffet tea but not sure this year as baby will be tiny
Snacks throughout the day- chocolate including loads of after eights!

We normally have bacon cobs for breakfast. Later on I pop in some fresh croissants and cinnamon rolls in the oven and leave them on the side along with a cheese board and crackers for us to pick at throughout the day. Dinner is usually a roast leg of lamb ( OH isn't a fan of Turkey and we had lamb our first Christmas together so it's like a tradition) with roast potatoes, mash, carrots, peas, stuffing , gravy, yorkies and pigs in blankets. I don't do too much anymore as no one eats it and it gets wasted.

We always have black forest gataux and jam role poly for desert.

I do a cooked breakfast for DH, and I eat gifted chocolate and Buck's Fizz! no other day of the year is quality street is an acceptable breakfast

Lunch I usually skip and make up for during dinner! We have dinner about 4pm so if I had a big lunch it'd spoil it.

Then we have pudding and cakes.

Christmas is my most unhealthy food day of the year, I love it

Why why why did I read this thread whilst pregnant now all I want to do is eat.....

 

[DazedConfused]

We usually stay at my parents xmas eve, stay up late and drink too much singing Christmas tunes so Christmas morning starts with a full big breakfast. We skip lunch, but usually nibble throughout the day.
Dinner is a BBQ, with a couple whole chickens of there, kebabs etc. Mum also does a ham as an ode to the traditional.
Then we all go down the beach to hang out in the sun and have a few drinks/family time.
I still do really miss wintery Christmases though!!

Last year was our first Christmas at home and we wasted far too much food (we had two other adults and one child that was eating)

This year will be just the four of us and we are not going mad.
Breakfast: smoked salmon and scrambled eggs
Lunch:Turkey, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, parsnips, stuffing, pigs in blankets, Yorkshire pudding
Tea: cheese and crackers, maybe some frozen bites for the girls

My nan always gets us a hamper of goodies (she has already started) so we will have biscuits, chocolate, crisps and nuts as treats.
We don't really drink alcohol but may have a glass or two of wine (always get given a few bottles) plus other naughty drinks like coke, lemonade, cream soda.
