Lean into cozy holiday cheer with these holiday feast recipes. Get the family hyped for the big day: plan to feature a different holiday feast recipe or two in the days leading up to the big dinner. Or, lay them all out the day of—just make sure folks don't fill up before the entrée hits the table!

Holiday feast recipes can help stave off hungry hands trying to get in on the action in the kitchen. Keep them away from the ham or turkey until dinner time by setting out snacks elsewhere. You could even set up a mocktail beverage station alongside them. Get kids (of all ages) involved in setting a pretty scene for the feast with serving utensils and bowls that have just a little more glitz and glamor than your everyday sets. See if they can get creative with the construction paper or unleash their interior designer on your table linens.

Serve up these holiday feast recipes and make the holidays that much brighter, with delicious bites plated up on sweet accessories.
