Christmas: Best meal combo for Christians in Canada

It’s that time of year again when Christians around the world come together to celebrate Christmas.

The holiday, which commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, is observed annually on 25th December. With this year’s celebration just days away, the anticipation is already building.

Like every other festival celebrated with loved ones, Christmas is incomplete without a hearty meal. In Canada, a country of over 40 million people, with approximately 53% identifying as Christians, one key consideration for many this season is deciding on the perfect food combination to mark the festivities.

If you are in Canada and wondering what meal combo to choose, look no further. In this article, Tribune Online has curated the best food combinations to help you celebrate this Christmas in style.

1. Roast Turkey with Cranberry Sauce and Mashed Potatoes

A classic Christmas meal in Canada, roast turkey is a staple at most dinner tables during the festive season. Paired with tangy cranberry sauce and creamy mashed potatoes, this combo is a timeless favourite for families looking to share a traditional holiday meal.

2. Glazed Ham with Roasted Vegetables and Gravy

Glazed ham is an excellent choice for those who prefer a non-turkey option. Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables, such as carrots, Brussels sprouts, and parsnips, drizzled in rich gravy to create a hearty and satisfying feast.

3. Tourtière with Salad and Fresh Bread

Tourtière, a French-Canadian meat pie, is a popular dish during the holidays. This savoury pie, made with spiced meat filling, pairs perfectly with a crisp garden salad and freshly baked bread, offering a festive twist on comfort food.

4. Seafood Platter with Rice Pilaf and Garlic Butter

In coastal regions of Canada, a seafood platter is a popular alternative to traditional Christmas meals. Lobster, shrimp, and scallops, accompanied by fragrant rice pilaf and garlic butter, make for an indulgent and memorable celebration.

5. Vegetarian Spread: Nut Roast, Stuffed Bell Peppers, and Grilled Asparagus

For vegetarians, a nut roast can serve as the centrepiece of a delightful meal. Pair it with stuffed bell peppers filled with quinoa or couscous and a side of grilled asparagus for a healthy and festive option.

6. Desserts: Christmas Pudding, Butter Tarts, and Eggnog

No Christmas meal is complete without dessert! Traditional Christmas pudding, buttery tarts filled with raisins, and a glass of creamy eggnog are quintessential treats to end the feast on a sweet note.
