4 tips for organizing a stress-free Christmas dinner

The holidays are approaching again and that means a time of warmth, conviviality and of course good food. Organizing the perfect Christmas dinner brings a lot of stress. From getting all the groceries and cooking to cleaning up the house. No idea where to start? With our handy products and great tips you can ensure that your Christmas dinner is stress-free. So that not only your guests but also you can enjoy the conviviality this Christmas.

1. Decide well in advance what you will put on the table for Christmas

A good start is half the battle, and this certainly applies to organizing a Christmas dinner. It is therefore smart to think well in advance about which menu you want to serve during the holidays and what groceries you need for this. And not only that, also write down the preparation time of each dish so that you can determine exactly when to prepare which dish. Don't forget the table decorations and all the supplies you need for that. By planning realistically and taking into account the time you need per dish, you reduce last-minute stress.

2. Get the groceries on time and store them smartly

Supermarkets are extra busy around the holidays, so stock up on long-life products that you need. Even though it is still a few weeks until Christmas. Also use our folding crates to conveniently organize your groceries. Label each crate and fill them with ingredients that match. This way you avoid chaos and you can easily find everything when you start making Christmas dinner. Or order your groceries online and have them delivered to your home. That will save you a lot of time and stress. Tip: are you planning to order Christmas groceries online? Make your shopping list for Christmas dinner directly in the app of the supermarket where you will order all the products.

3. Prepare Christmas dinner as far as possible

After you have all the groceries at home, you can start preparing Christmas dinner. This prevents you from having to do everything on the last day and being overwhelmed by an abundance of tasks. For example, prepare different sauces or marinades the night before. But you can also make stews and soups a day in advance. In fact, they often taste even better. Store your sauces, soup or stew in handy food containers and put them in the refrigerator. Or put it outside when it's cold enough if your refrigerator is overflowing.

4. Clean up your kitchen in between and avoid tidying up stress

During the preparations for Christmas dinner, the kitchen can quickly become chaotic. But with some useful tips you can prevent tidying stress. Clean up in between while you are preparing the delicious dishes and get help where necessary. Ask your partner or the kids to help, for example, fill the dishwasher or throw away the waste on the counter. Or store dirty pans and used cutting boards and knives in a folding crate. You can temporarily put this out of sight and clean it up when the visitors have left, or the day after. This way you keep control of your kitchen, your kitchen remains tidy and you can enjoy your homemade Christmas dinner with peace of mind.

What to do with the leftovers from Christmas dinner?

Especially if you have no plans for Christmas and don't feel like cooking, those leftovers can even come in handy. Store leftovers in handy food containers and put them in the refrigerator or freeze them. Do you really have too much left? Share it with family and friends. This way you can keep the Christmas spirit going after the holidays.
