This Texas Favorite Carves Its Way to the Top of Christmas Dinner Tables
Many families tend to go traditional when it comes to Christmas Dinner, it will either be a big ham in the center of the table or a roasted turkey or both. However, many families will stray from the traditional and serve up a non-traditional meal for their Christmas Feast.

Texas is a big state with big tastes and it is home to some great food, however, it's not any wonder why this Texas delicacy will be gracing Christmas dining tables all over the country.
Texas Brisket
There is something about a delicious brisket. Maybe it's the smoky flavor or that beautiful smoke ring on the meat. It could be just how tender a properly cooked brisket tastes. A Texas brisket can change anyone's mood to something good.
It's no wonder why Texas brisket ranks #3 as one of the most popular dishes on everyone's Christmas dinner table.
We Can't Forget What Goes Great with Brisket
Let’s not forget the sides that pair perfectly with a good brisket. A big bowl of creamy potato salad, some flavorful pinto beans, and a phenomenal relish tray are all must-haves. And the appetizers—oh, don’t get me started! You’ll probably be stuffed before dinner even starts.
But why stop there? Dessert is just as important. Sure, you could stick with the traditional pumpkin and pecan pies, but you have to add banana pudding to the mix. It’s the ultimate sweet ending to a brisket feast!
Now that you're feeling hungry, are you starting to rethink your Christmas dinner plans?
If Texas brisket came in at #3, you’re probably curious about what could top this tender feast. At #2 is Idaho prime rib—just imagine a perfectly cooked prime rib with garlic and herb mashed potatoes and a fancy vegetable on the side. That sounds like a meal fit for any holiday table.
But taking the #1 spot isn’t a meal at all—unless you’re the Golden Girls or Chandler and Rachel from Friends. It’s New York cheesecake.
Go ahead and enjoy that Texas brisket, but maybe save room for a slice of cheesecake for dessert!
No matter what you eat for Christmas dinner, have a very Merry Christmas full of love, laughter, and the reasons for the season!
