1. Pineapple Maple Mustard Glazed Ham
Well, have we ever seen Christmas parties without ham? We dare say this is an essential staple that appears on every party table. Not only is it an incredibly easy zhng-up to store-bought ham, but it also serves up to 10 pax, making it an ideal menu item for sharing with a group.

By combining the tanginess of pineapple juice, spice from the herbs and sweetness of the maple syrup, this combination of contrasting flavours gives the ham a full-bodied and well-balanced taste that will satisfy even the pickiest palate.
Pro tip: top it off with some sweet, caramelised pineapple slices to make the flavours pop.

3. Easy Air-Fryer Churros
Its not Christmas without a sweet treat! Even if you are not much of a cook, you are in luck – you can whip this dessert up with kitchen appliances you already have sitting at home, like your microwave and air-fryer. Its simple to heat up the churros (2 minutes and 160 degrees in the air-fryer), so you can make these in advance and still have piping hot churros for your party!
Pair the churros with your favourite toppings, such as cinnamon and brown sugar. Store-bought spreads like Nutella work great as well so you dont have to make a sauce from scratch.

Preparation Time: 30 Minutes. Serves 3.
3. Grilled Prawn Tacos
For something so simple to put together, this recipe for grilled prawn tacos certainly packs a punch! Enveloped within a lightly toasted tortilla wrap, the juicy grilled prawns, marinated with gochugaru or red pepper flakes, is balanced nicely with the yogurt sauce and cabbage slaw.
Yet another simple dish to make, this is best suited for gatherings where you want to eat less per dish and have a bit more of everything.

Whats a Christmas gathering/party without a Christmas cocktail? A classic Christmas Eggnog might just be what you need after a hearty meal. A traditional holiday drink which resembles the milkshakes you get in diners, the eggnog (egg punch) is complimented with meringue to give a creamy yet thirst-quenching beverage.

6. Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
A versatile dish that could be both a main or a dessert, our bread pudding with vanilla sauce is something not to be missed! Although it looks complex, preparation steps are actually surprisingly straightforward.
The chewy, firm texture of the bread cubes contrasts with the fluffy pudding component, making this dish more dimensional and incredibly enjoyable. Furthermore, the recipe utilises soy milk, which is friendly towards our lactose-intolerant and vegan friends! Add some bourbon if you like a little alcoholic kick in your pudding.
