Bring the Zing to the Holidays: 6 Bold, Festive Recipes for Every Celebration

The holidays are made for gathering, cooking, and sharing good food with the people you love most. From Thanksgiving to Hanukkah to Christmas, every celebration deserves dishes that make the table feel special. Whether you’re hosting a family feast or adding your signature dish to a potluck, these six recipes bring warmth, color, and just the right amount of zing to every occasion.

Thanksgiving Favorites with a Twist

A holiday staple gets a bold new flavor. Our Horseradish Sauce adds just the right touch of heat and brightness to balance the creamy base, turning this comfort-food classic into a side dish that really stands out.

Why you’ll love it:

• Creamy, cozy, and just the right amount of bold
• Balances rich ingredients with fresh horseradish flavor
• Perfect alongside turkey, ham, or roasted chicken

Pro Tip: Finish with crispy onions and a sprinkle of black pepper for the perfect crunch.

This isn’t your average stuffing. The hearty texture of pretzel bread paired with the tang of Stone Ground Mustard adds a rich, savory flavor that’s both unexpected and completely delicious.

Why it works:

• Pretzel bread gives it a chewy, hearty bite
• Silver Spring Stone Ground Mustard adds depth and tang
• Complements roasted vegetables or classic turkey gravy

Hanukkah Classics with a Kick

Crispy, golden latkes meet their perfect match with a bright beetroot sour cream. Our Beet Horseradish adds a festive pop of color and a subtle sweetness that pairs perfectly with each bite.

Serving ideas:

• Serve with applesauce for a sweet-and-spicy contrast
• Garnish with dill for extra freshness
• Great for holiday brunches or family dinners

Comfort in a bowl with a little extra flair. A spoonful of Prepared Horseradish brings gentle warmth and flavor to the broth, enhancing the traditional dish you already love.

Why it’s a keeper:

• Adds flavor depth without overpowering
• Warms you up on cold nights
• Keeps classic tradition with a modern twist

Christmas Appetizers That Steal the Show

Equal parts appetizer and centerpiece, this pull-apart wreath is made for holiday gatherings. Creamy spinach dip gets a flavorful lift from Horseradish Sauce, wrapped in golden crescent rolls for a dish that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Entertaining tip:

• Add red pepper flakes or pimentos for a festive pop of color
• Perfect for holiday open houses or family parties

You can’t go wrong with this holiday classic. Our Cocktail Sauce brings the perfect blend of tangy tomato flavor and bright spice, ideal for pairing with shrimp or seafood appetizers.
