Whether you're putting the finishing touches on your Christmas cookies or attending Church services before Santa arrives, there's no better way to celebrate Christmas Eve than with food, family, and festive traditions. And one tradition that we hold near and dear to our hearts is Christmas Eve dinner. While Christmas brunch tends to get all the attention (it's when gifts are opened, after all), Christmas Eve dinner is just as special. You can make it an elegant affair with Christmas cocktails and bite-sized snacks or opt for a more casual family dinner—this list has recipes for any type of feast.
