Christmas Eve Feast




Merry Christmas!  A little late.  This year, my darling sister Hilary and I threw a Christmas Eve open house at our home for our closest family and friends.  We carefully crafted a menu of hors d'oeuvres, sweets, and cocktails.  This was the first time either of has cooked for so many people (24!) and we were quite pleased with the way it turned out.  Luckily there were no major mishaps or disasters and our guests seemed to leave pleased and full.

Our Menu:

Savory
Crudites
Truffled Brie
Carved Ham w/Champagne and Stone Ground Mustard

Sweet
Assorted Christmas Cookies

Drink

 

White Winter Cosmo


Hilary's Homemade Spiked Eggnog - Buffalo Trace Bourbon


Sweets Spread & Kentucky Bourbon Butter Cake 


Shrimp Cocktail - amazing!


The Spread


The Chefs - Hilary & Alexis McMahan
