Happy Thursday,
Christmas dinner is the heart of the holiday season, a time for families and friends to gather around a table laden with delicious food. But have you ever wondered how this tradition evolved over time? 🤔
Let's take a culinary journey through the ages:
Historic Christmas Feasts: We're going way back to colonial New England, where Christmas dinners were simple affairs focused on hearty fare like roasted meats and seasonal vegetables.

Regional Specialties: New England is a diverse region, and its Christmas dinners reflect that! From clam chowder in Rhode Island to baked beans in Maine, we'll explore the unique dishes that define holiday traditions across the region.
