In Italy, as well as many other European countries, a holiday tradition is to serve fish as a main course (we love these tilapia recipes), where here in the United States it's centered around turkey and ham.

Tips for Serving Christmas Desserts
A festive platter makes all the difference when serving a pretty dessert.
If you have people bringing desserts, you can stack them on small boxes you can find around the house for a layered look to your Christmas table.
And remember to have some festive drinks for your guests like this White Christmas Mimosa, Cranberry Mimosa, or Cranberry Moscow Mule.
Serve a few of these party appetizers before dessert, or have a rotating party where you go to different houses.
Enjoy these desserts and have a wonderful holiday!
