I think I’m going to try Beef Wellington, with Ultimate Creamed Spinach, and Smashed Potatoes.
Any other sides to consider?

Roasted Brussel sprouts
Kenji’s prime rib method, roasted rainbow carrots (maybe with a little hot honey, tbd), and going to attempt to recreate these whipped potatoes that a local restaurant does. They have bacon, scallion, capers, cheese, red onion.
Christmas eve for 5. I’m making Chef John’s lobster thermidor (an easy version), pear and endive salad with blue cheese, maybe Thai tom ka soup to start. Wellington sounds good but daunting.
Stuffed shells, linguine con vongele, bacalao and a big muthafuckin prime rib!
Stella’s banana pudding!
I’m doing a Wellington as well, with green peppercorn gravy, mashed potatoes, baked pears with Gorgonzola & balsamic glaze, kale, almond & pomegranate salad, & my families ol’favorite, the Red Hot cinnamon applesauce cherry jello salad.
I would add a crunchy acidic veg either a salad as a starter or roasted veg with fresh lemon or whole roasted cauliflower for wow factor
I am doing Kenji’s Crispy Roast Potatoes this year. Last year I did the Hasselback Potatoes Casserole which was a big hit.
Made ‘turnip cups’ from The Joy of Cooking, was inspired by the filling (turnip pulp, green peas, onion, bread crumbs all sautéed in butter) & am going to try to do some kind of ‘turnip bake’ that is some version of that.
Charcuterie. Squash and blue cheese tarts.
Prime rib. Broccoli rabe with garlic and chili flakes. Creamed cauliflower.
Red wine.
Dessert.
