With Christmas just around the corner you may look for some recipe ideas… something you have either never tried before or something you always wanted to make at home.

There is so many options and only couple of days of holidays, therefore we always try to make at least one new recipe every year rather than repeat the same dishes.

Below you can find some of our favorite Christmas foods we made over the past years…
