Can you believe it? Christmas is less than a month away! Have you thought about cooking Christmas Dinner on the BBQ? Have you finished your Christmas shopping? Do you have your tree up? Are the rest of the decorations up around your house?

So many things to think about this time of year and especially this year, which has been like no other! Hopefully, we can take some of the stress away with some ideas for your Christmas dinner!

Christmas Dinner Appetizers and Starters

Here are a few ideas to get you and your family warmed up for Christmas! Everyone needs to have some munchies and starters before they dive into the main event. These are simple appetizer ideas that are super tasty. Any one of them would be a fantastic way to start your Christmas dinner.

Smoked Jalapeno Poppers

Smoked Jalapeno Poppers are an extraordinary treat that never fails to surprise family & guests alike!  I love to put them out as an appetizer while we are chatting over a drink before dinner. They never last long and I don’t think I have ever had any left-over!

I mean, seriously, who doesn’t like a dollop of cream cheese now and then? And bacon, who doesn’t love that smoky taste of hickory smoked bacon? Then there is just a little heat from the jalapeno, not overpowering, just the right spicy bite!

GARLIC HERB BUTTER GRILLED OYSTERS

These Grilled Oysters are just about the perfect little bite, each wonderful oyster floating in an amazing garlic herb butter.

There really is nothing like a perfectly grilled oyster! Some people say they are an acquired taste, but I think perhaps this is a recipe that everyone is going to love!

GRILLED BACON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Grilled Bacon Wrapped Shrimp is an easy way to serve up something delicious. The best part is it looks really fancy, but you don’t have to tell them how easy it really is! The recipe is simple, just 3 ingredients.

You can make them in advance and keep them in the refrigerator until you are ready to put them on the grill. What could be easier?

AMAZING Christmas DINNER SIDE DISHES

Having great side dishes for your Christmas dinner celebration is really important! So with that in mind, here are a few of our favorite side dishes you can create for your Christmas feast!

CURRY GRILLED CAULIFLOWER

Grilled Cauliflower is a perfect side dish for any occasion but especially for Christmas! The curry flavor and a bit of heat that you get from this recipe just add a whole other dimension to the taste!

Whether you are serving it with turkey, chicken, beef, or something else, this recipe will pair nicely with just about anything. It also can make a great substitution for rice or broccoli as a side dish.

BAKED POTATOES ON THE GRILL

Baked Potatoes On The Grill is an easy way to make the perfect side dish. You can prepare them while your main course is cooking on the grill! The traditional baked potato is usually served alongside a grilled steak or beautiful slice of prime rib. It would make a wonderful side for your Christmas feast!

MISO GRILLED BABY BOK CHOY

This Miso Grilled Baby Bok Choy recipe, covered with this special miso paste, is literally the bomb! The Asian flavors are front and center when you use miso paste in the sauce. Just brush that on and it will make the bok choy sing; it is wonderful!

Why not add a little Asian flair to your Christmas dinner? This recipe would pair perfectly with beautiful roast beef!

Have you had your fill of turkey from Thanksgiving? Maybe it’s time to think about serving something else at your Christmas table this year. There are many other great (and tasty) options for you to consider!

We have a few awesomely delicious non-turkey ideas for you to try this year. If you are absolutely stuck on serving turkey, try our Smoked Turkey, with the best darn gravy you will ever have had!

GRILLED PRIME RIB ROAST

Grilled Prime Rib Roast is a special dinner that is easier than you think to prepare. I remember having a prime rib roast for special occasions when I was growing up; it was a meal that everyone loved! This recipe is very easy, you slow cook the prime rib after putting on a gorgeous rub, and it comes out absolutely perfect!

ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

Making a Rotisserie Chicken at home is much easier than you may think. And if you are having a smaller gathering this year for Christmas, this recipe might be just the thing for your Christmas table!

Chicken is such a great meal at any time of the year, and the best part is that you can still have some delicious leftovers for sandwiches the next day!

SMOKED RACK OF LAMB

Over the years, I have learned lamb has to be prepared correctly. The rack of lamb is a delicate piece of meat that needs to be treated properly. When you do, the results are out of this world! Everyone would love you to serve this for your Christmas dinner!

Sweet finish!

You can’t have a wonderful Christmas dinner without finishing it off with something extra sweet and special!
