'Tis the day to eat, drink and make merry and we've gone all out to help you make Christmas day dinner a memorable affair. To bring you loads of luscious recipes, we asked a few of the country's best chefs to add some of their palate-pleasing dishes to our festive menu.
OUR FANCY feast starts sweetly with scrumptious Chocolate Bark and Banana-Peanut Pops, continues with a Solomon Gundy and Jerk Chicken Salad Dip, courtesy of Walkerswood, followed by a choice of salads a tasty Island Salad from Norma Shirley, the Grand Dame of Caribbean cuisine, and a zesty mixed green salad from Chef of the Year, Breezes Runaway Bay's Clifton Hoggarth.
And that's just for starters.
We've also got a delicious Grand Appleton Christmas Ham from Martin Maginley, executive chef, Grand Lido Negril, and a tempting macaroni and cheese dish from Pearline Smith, the 65-year-old retired postmistress of Milk River, Clarendon.
There's drinks aplenty with a Sorreltini concoction from the posh Half Moon hotel in Montego Bay; a pricey Christmas punch; and well-timed advice from the wine guy Paul Hanworth of 1876 Wines.
Along the way, Sorrel Sorbet - from Tru-Juice and Half Moon - helps to cleanse the palate. We end on a sweet note with a good ol' Jamaican Christmas Plum Pudding from Linval Green, Sans Souci Resort & Spa's award-winning pastry chef, plus Baked Banana with Rum.
