How to use the Christmas dinner menu wheel

  1. 1

    Spin for your centerpiece main protein.

  2. 2

    Spin multiple times to assemble a balanced lineup of starch and vegetable side dishes.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Potluck Assignment: Have family members spin to determine which holiday dish category they bring.
  • New Tradition Dish: Challenge your kitchen to introduce one newly spun side dish to the annual spread.

Planning the feast

A holiday dinner has a main course and several sides, and the choices can take days. The wheel offers mains such as prime rib, glazed ham and roast turkey, plus sides like garlic mashed potatoes. Spin to choose, or let each guest spin for a dish to bring.

Start with the main, because it decides oven time and the rest of the menu. Make a timeline for when each dish should go in and come out.

Dietary needs and shortcuts

Ask guests about allergies and diets before you finalize the menu. Prepare what you can in advance, such as desserts and sauces. Edit the wheel to include family recipes, and remove dishes that need an oven you do not have.
