What are the most searched Christmas recipes right now?

People are chasing these Christmas recipes right now: roasted turkey with garlic-herb butter, honey-glazed ham, and showpiece prime rib, plus crowd-pleasing sides like stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and cranberry sauce. For desserts, sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, mince pies, and a showpiece Yule log top the searches. Cozy drinks like mulled wine and peppermint hot chocolate finish the lineup.

Speaking from last year, I learned that the best results come from planning ahead. My daughter and I baked dozens of sugar cookies, froze the dough, then rolled and iced them in one afternoon. It saved us chaos on the big day, and the kids loved the festive sugar sparkle.

Tips:
- Bake cookies a few days early; freeze dough so you can pull off fresh shapes fast.
- Brine or dry-brine poultry and let it rest before carving.
- Make cranberry sauce and stuffing a day ahead.
- Prep veg and mashed potatoes the night before; rewarm gently.
- Have a simple dessert backup in case the bûche collapses.
