Christmas Cheers Recipe Collection

Christmas time, it’s the most wonderful time of the year. With a decorated tree adorning the centre of your home, filling the room with the fresh scent of pine, contagious excitement growing as the colourful presents slowly build up around the tree, and the familiar sounds of Michael Bublé coming out of his cave to summon to Christmas cheer alongside Mariah Carey and Sia, there’s only 1 thing left to do before Christmas day is upon us: plan the Christmas feast!

Is it really Christmas if you don’t have a full day of feasting, cocktails and desserts prepared? We think not. Christmas is the one day of the year where it’s completely acceptable to eat your heart out, wearing daggy maternity pants to allow for the extra room, and fall asleep in the pool on your new floaty with a cocktail in hand as the intense midsummer heat sweats out all the extra calories… just to make room for more feasting.

Our Christmas Cheers Recipe Collection is back this year to keep the festive feasting and jolly going right through the holiday season. These recipes will inspire the entertainer within you to put on the most unforgettable table spreads for everyone to gather around and enjoy, but with a wholesome twist. All of our recipes are made from nourishing whole foods and will complement the classic Christmas dishes you know and love. Plus our Christmas cocktails are all completely clean and are spiked with a good dose of nutrition!

For extra fun fiesta feasts around the afternoon siesta, we’ve put a Mexican twist on some of the main dishes! If you want to offer something different to the typical Christmas roast meats, or if you’re vegetarian/vegan, you and your amigos will absolutely love these dishes which do not disappoint on fun, flavour and wholesome nutrition.

Feliz Navidad!

Wholesome Christmas Grazing Board

Nestled between your epic Christmas lunch and dinner feasts, a grazing board is absolutely essential and is just as fun putting it together as it is digging in.

Is there anything more thirst quenching than an ice-cold mojito on a hot summer's day? We've put a fun Christmas twist on a classic summer cocktail with the addition of strawberries and pomegranate that your guests will love! It's so simple to make ahead of time, then when the temperature hits sweaty brow level, all you have to do is serve them on a platter of ice for a little heat wave reprieve in boozy pop form.

Pulled Jackfruit Tacos

Pulled Jackfruit Tacos with Maple BBQ Sauce and Homemade Pickled Onions

Vegan tacos mightn't be the first thing you think of for Christmas lunch, but take it from us, they sure make an impression. It's all too common when families get together that different diets and food philosophies can make the Christmas menu a little tricky. Enter pulled jackfruit tacos! They taste and have the texture of pulled pork, but are completely vegan.

What's great about this meal is that you don't have to slave away for hours in the hot kitchen, or get up before the sun to put the roast on. These delicious tacos, paired with our dirty corn recipe is just about the best thing you'll eat this Christmas.

Dirty Corn

A Christmas fiesta is never complete without dirty corn! The perfect entrada to your Mexican feast, dirty corn is an easy, fun and delicious way to feed many hungry amigos. What really makes our recipe special is the cashew cream cheese as the base for all the other ingredients. Trust us on this one.
