- No-one wants to be stuck in the kitchen all day on Christmas day, but we still want a Christmas dinner with all of the trimmings!
So how do we manage to get an impressive Christmas dinner on the table in minimum time on that special day?
Here are my top 10 Christmas Dinner tips!
The full written post is available here: www.kitchensanctuary.com/10-t...
Tip 1. Make Canapes instead of Starters
Tip 2. Make-ahead Gravy
Tip 3. Make those Roast Potatoes ahead too!
Tip 4. Make-ahead Mashed Potato
Tip 5. Keep the Roast Turkey simple!
Tip 6. Wrap those Pigs in Blankets
Tip 7. Buy Ready-Prepped Veg
If steamed veg sounds a bit boring, you can prep a few toppings that can be sprinkled or drizzled on at the last minute:
Honey Balsamic Sprouts - mix honey and balsamic together the day before (just leave covered at room temp), then drizzle onto steamed sprouts and finish with a sprinkling of flaked almonds.
Butter Pepper Carrots - Mix a couple of tablespoons of good-quality salted butter with a good pinch of white pepper. Cover at leave at room temperature. Spoon onto the steamed carrots. Add a sprig of fresh thyme or a sprinkling of parsley if you like.
Garlic Parmesan Green Beans - - Mix a couple of tablespoons of good-quality salted butter with half a clove of minced garlic. Cover at leave at room temperature. Spoon onto the steamed green beans. Sprinkle on a tablespoon of ready-grated parmesan right before serving.
Tip 8. Make a Punch Bowl!
Tip 9. Set the Table ahead
Tip 10. Make-ahead Dessert (without taking up fridge space)

For years now I've cooked the turkey on Christmas eve. Cooled overnight and sliced in the morning, it's then trayed up with gravy and covered in foil. This frees up the oven for parsnips, roast potatoes etc and the tray of turkey just needs warmed through. There's no carving at the table, and plenty of room there too without a large bird taking up all the space.
You are the most sweetest lady ever. Thanks so much Nikki for giving us all the great tips and courage to make these wonderful dishes you've shown us. Please have a great and most of all a healthy New Year. Be safe out there and I hope your family are all well and happy. Sending much love from B.C. Canada.
Great hair Nikki, great everything! Here's my idea for a stress free Christmas, be alone and order a takeaway, lol. I can't do this so thank you for your 10 tips, they are useful, great ideas. I learn much today. MERRY CHRISTMAS x
🤣 Hope you have a fab Christmas :)
Seriously Nicky just how good can your filming production get. You have both upped your game again, if that was even possible !! This video is superb in every respect. Wishing you and your family a great Christmas in your new home, and all the best for the New Year. Dean 😀
You are an AWSOME find Nicky
Merry Christmas
As always, simply excellent! Enjoy a peaceful Christmas with the family and amaze with more great videos, in a hopefully better (or just normal!) new year!
You have excellent ideas for the perfect Christmas dinner 🍽️
I’ll just be having the usual Sunday roast but with cranberry sauce 🤣
Nikki, wonderful as always. A big pot of veg soup could be made a day ahead also. Last year my husband and I I hosted my parents, brother and aunt and I served soup as a sit down course with some canapés beforehand. It really reduced the stress in having to get starters ready.
Last top tip, get volunteers wash up the delph between courses, the pots can wait.
Love that!
I really enjoyed you tips. I love holiday cooking..it is a time to show off my kitchen skills and enjoy involving the family..
Best wishes to you and your family from mine. This year I've really enjoyed your recipes! All the best, Allen

Just found you, truly excellent! I’ll be making my gravy, pudding, roasties ahead. We roast our turkey on Christmas Eve in full foil tent just like you but then finish it off for an hour without foil on Christmas morning. Nicky have you a good stuffing recipe? We made it last year with sausage meat and it was greasy? Thanks again and merry Christmas to you all
