25 Christmas Dinner for Two for a Small Festive Tradition
It's scaled-down but just as special!
Not everyone celebrates Christmas dinner with a big oversized feast. Maybe you're opting for a more intimate meal with your hubby or a smaller dinner with just a couple of friends. Either way, you can plan a Christmas dinner for two (or four) with just as much holiday spirit—and all your favorite traditional dishes. All you need are some festive table decorations and these cozy winter recipes that are perfectly portioned for a smaller meal. If a small Christmas dinner is on your radar this year, check out the recipe ideas ahead, just don't forget the Christmas desserts!
The best part about having a smaller Christmas dinner is that you don't have to do a ton of work (or clean-up). So, keep things easy, simple, and elegant with these Christmas dinner ideas for two. Here, you'll find everything you need for a holiday menu, including Christmas sides and festive cocktails. And just like with a big family dinner, this list includes plenty of options for main courses, like pan-fried rib eye, chicken marsala, and lemon-garlic shrimp and grits. While all these dishes are meant to feed a smaller crowd, don't worry too much if you end up with leftovers—they're the best part anyway!
