A Slow Cooker Christmas Dinner

Decorate Ahead with Gusto

• Nestle tiny white battery-operated lights among entwined evergreens and grapevines sprayed gold or silver and arrange on the center of your table. Add gold or silver Christmas balls, then tall candles at each end.
• Attach sparkling "cling-on" snowflakes or stars to the bottoms of stemmed glasses or clear serving plates.
• Candles everywhere will make your dinner glow! Small candles placed in a collection of different sizes and shapes of glasses with stems and no stems will add many reflections. Weave tinsel around the bases of the glasses.
• Wish you had plate chargers to dress up your place settings? Make them yourself with our help!

• Simply offer wine to drink.  
• Brush up on wine pairing if you need help.

• Here are plenty of easy ideas using cereal snack mixes, like Cheesy Ranch Chex® Mix, packaged in oh-so-many clever ways!
• Find more ideas both for baking or crafting at Holiday Gifts from the Kitchen.
• Who's not fond of feathered friends, like bright red cardinals, that brighten winter days? Have kids craft For-the-Birds Feeders for family members to take home or mark each table place setting with a Cinnamon Cardinal Cookie!
