Classic Christmas Dishes to Try This Year
Christmas is just around the corner, and it’s time to try some new recipes! This season, we’ve put together a few classic holiday recipes that are perfect for any Christmas gathering. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just looking to spice up your dinner routine, these recipes are easy, tasty, and perfect for spreading some festive cheer!
1. Beef Wellington
Ingredients:
1 Wilders Sirloin Tip Roast
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 lb mushrooms, finely chopped
2 shallots, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp butter
1 sheet puff pastry
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Season the beef tenderloin with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear the beef on all sides until browned. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, brush with Dijon mustard.
In the same skillet, add butter, shallots, and garlic. Sauté until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until all the moisture is gone. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Let the mixture cool.
On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry. Spread the mushroom mixture in the center. Place the beef on top of the mushrooms. Wrap the pastry around the beef, sealing all edges.
Place the wrapped beef seam-side down on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let rest before slicing and serving
2. Glazed Brown Sugar Ham
Ingredients:
1 Wilders Smoked Boneless Ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup whole grain mustard
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
Whole cloves (optional, for studding the ham)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Score the surface of the ham in a diamond pattern about 1/4-inch deep. This helps the glaze penetrate into the meat.
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, orange juice, cinnamon, and ground cloves. Heat over medium until the mixture comes to a boil, stirring continuously to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer the glaze for 5-7 minutes, or until thickened slightly.
Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Brush about one-third of the glaze over the ham. Tent the ham with aluminum foil to prevent the glaze from burning and bake for about 1.5 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes. If the ham is larger, adjust the cooking time accordingly (about 15 minutes per pound).
During the last 30 minutes of baking, remove the foil to allow the outside of the ham to caramelize and become crispy. Once done, remove the ham from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve the ham slices with extra glaze on the side or drizzle over the top. Accompany with classic sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a festive salad.
3. Christmas Beef Stroganoff

In the same skillet, add mushrooms and cook until browned. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir to combine.
Slowly pour in beef broth, stirring constantly. Add Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat.
Return the beef to the skillet. Cook over low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through but still tender.

1 Pack Wagyu Snack Sticks (choice of flavor!)
2 sheets puff pastry (thawed)

Mustard (for eyes)

Once cooled, dot mustard onto the top of each hot dog to create “eyes” and complete your mummy look.
3. Berkshire "Brain" Pulled Pork Sliders
Ingredients:
1- Wilders Berkshire Boston Butt
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite kind)
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Slider buns (preferably soft, for a “brain” effect)
1 small purple cabbage (for garnish)
Instructions:
Prepare the pork: In a slow cooker, combine the Berkshire pork shoulder with BBQ sauce and apple cider vinegar. Cook on low for 8 hours or until tender and shreddable.
Once the pork is cooked, shred it using two forks, and mix it back into the sauce.

For the spooky "brain" look, top each slider with thinly sliced purple cabbage to resemble veins. Slightly press the top bun down to create "brain-like" wrinkles in the bread.
