Having Easy Holiday Side Dishes can help to alleviate the stress of hosting the holiday dinner! However, having basic side dishes can really get old year after year so we try to mix it up by trying a new side dish or two for our dinner.

Side dishes can make or break your holiday dinner, it seems! I know my family has the ones we make every year and throughout the year! The first time I hosted Thanksgiving, I was so focused on the turkey that I forgot to do rolls or deviled eggs! Easy side dishes also help to remove some of the stress of the holiday. Also, doing a Crockpot Ham also saves up a lot of oven space.

Easy Holiday Side Dishes:
Green Bean Casserole– This side dish definitely is a holiday dish that is a classic! Plus it’s one of the easiest to make as well.
Oven Roasted Baby Potatoes-This garlic bread is easy to make, fun to eat, and goes really well with chicken and mozzarella cheese.
Loaded Mashed Potatoes- Easy to make on the stove, the bacon, cream cheese, and cheese add amazing flavors to mashed potatoes. They don’t even require savory gravy to go with them, they are perfect as is.
Oven Roasted Acorn Squash– Use brown sugar, maple syrup, and butter to make this great side dish! You can also sprinkle with some cinnamon if you want to.

Garlic Bread– I have two variations that I love Cheesy Pull Apart Garlic Bread and Pull Apart Parmesan Bites which are amazing with almost any entree. Even better to go with the creamy sauce of pot pies.
Loaded Twice Baked Potato Casserole-Amazing twist on mashed potatoes that is easy to throw in the oven.
Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Anaheim Peppers– Free up oven space and use the grill to make these amazing bacon-wrapped peppers.
Pineapple Stuffing-Easy Pineapple Stuffing only takes five ingredients and a few minutes to prepare. This sweet side dish perfectly accompanies your ham or turkey dinner! This a vintage recipe everyone will love.
