In this month’s blog, we’re sharing our top five meats for a festive Christmas dinner—complete with our favorite recipes to help you prepare them!
1) Turkey Isn’t Just for Thanksgiving: Make It the Star of Your Christmas Feast.
While roasted turkey is often associated with Thanksgiving, it’s also a timeless choice for Christmas dinner. Its ability to feed a crowd makes it a perfect centerpiece for large holiday gatherings, plus it pairs well with various sides!

We recommend completing your Christmas turkey with classic sides like cranberry sauce, our old-fashioned bread stuffing and a generous pour of homemade gravy.
2) Ham is an Impressive Choice for Your Table.
Ham is another go-to choice for Christmas dinner, and it’s easy to see why. It’s simple to prepare, feeds a crowd and delivers an impressive presentation with a golden glaze.

Glazed ham is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. We recommend trying out a brown sugar and sherry glaze or another of our favorite glazes this holiday season for your all-natural country ham or smoked boneless ham. Order either one from our meat store.
3) Rack of Lamb Makes the Perfect Elegant Dish for Christmas Dinner.
A rack of lamb brings a touch of elegance to your holiday dinner. Its rich, bold flavor and beautiful presentation make it an ideal choice for small gatherings or if you’re looking for a standout centerpiece.
