xmas themed meals?

[mandco]

I'm aiming to do a couple of xmas themed meals a week to keep things interesting and make dec a bit more special this year as a lot of the usual things we do are unlikely to be possible this year
so far I have a
northpole breakfast
grinch theme
something disney - maybe frozen? as that's wintery

any ideas/suggestions?

I get a lot of my ideas off pintrest /google then use/adapt the ones that work best of us

A north pole breakfast is based on the idea of things the elves might eat in the north pole - lots of treats and xmas shaped items.
I try to keep it a little healthier so we'll have
pancakes with cream & sprinkles or decorated to look like snowmen/reindeer
crumpets in xmas shapes
milk in a glass with a candy cane in it maybe with some sprinkles on the rim
fruit arranged in xmas shapes

some people do porridge with fruit on top to look like xmas picture or add coloured candies to cereal you can even have things like sugar cookies/cupcakes.The usual breakfast rules don't apply to elves so you can go as unhealthy as you like - though best not on a school day

Grinch theme- lots of red & green
you can do a roast and give all the foods grinch themed names to keep things simple or go all in and make themed things
I'm thinking we'll go more buffet style so far I've got
green & red jelly
green punch with red sugar rim
red & green deviled eggs
You can get green wraps - so those with some red/green filling
various cupcakes/sweet treats

some people also decorate the table so it matches your theme but as I'm planning on doing a couple of week I'll keep the decs to the minimum to keep costs down.

Frozen again I'm thinking buffet style
snowflake(star) shaped sandwiches
there are lots of ideas around for snowman/reindeer themed foods
blue coloured drinks
but if you want to keep it simple again you can go with things like meatballs & salad and give them frozen themed names

Seriously, when I was pregnant with my youngest I just wanted to eat either steak with loads of salt on or spaghetti with loads of maple syrup on it.
Even now when I watch Elf I think the spaghetti with maple syrup looks delicious 😋

Around Christmas I make American style large pancakes and then use Christmas cutters to make shapes for the Grandchildren. I make up a ‘topping bar’ which includes festive sprinkles.
