When it comes to Christmas dinner we all know the main is the turkey and ham. But what are the sides that are going to be included in your meal? 

Here’s a list of some sides that you could never go wrong with:

Mashed potatoes: This is also a dish that I know is a simple go to for dinner plain or with some gravy. Homemade mashed potatoes may be a side but it can stand out on its own if cooked right. No bag of mashed potatoes can stand next to this dish. It’s not the same to me compared to homemade mashed potatoes.

Greens: This is a sign of vegetables on the table which is healthy as well. But I feel that greens have to have smoked turkey added to it to give it the kick that’s needed. Add some hot sauce and enjoy it.

Macaroni and cheese: Often considered a contentious placement among Christmas offerings, mac and cheese has never been an official must-have for the holiday table, but it’s a widely accepted side dish. I feel as if Christmas is not completed if I don’t have mac and cheese on my plate.

Sweet potatoes: It’s a sweet and savory side dish and it’s so good, and it is also a must have for some people. Kids love it because it’s sweet and has a candy-like taste to it. 

Cornbread dressing: This goes perfect with the turkey and gravy on top of it. I know some prefer cranberry sauce to give it a savory and sweet taste. I also prefer this vs box stuffing.
