The holidays are approaching, and while we prepare gifts and decorations, we also need to think about dinner. Here we leave you our top holiday dishes, those classics that cannot be missing in happy homes.

If this Christmas you want to go with the classics, just take a look at this list and you'll know what to do. This is not about innovating but perfecting classics that have enchanted generations. We also include the link where you can go directly to our delicious recipe for each dish.

Stuffed Turkey

This is the king of the night, serving as both a first course and a centerpiece. A whole stuffed turkey shouts Christmas loud and clear; classic recipes add butter and white wine to this great bird, while the stuffing is made with ground meat, nuts, and some sweet fruits like peaches. It’s a preparation that takes time, so you must be patient and let the oven do its work. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/carnes-y-aves/pavo-navidad

Bacalao

This Christmas stew is very Mexican; unlike turkey, which is an almost universal tradition, bacalao prepared with potatoes, olives, eggs, and other ingredients is a staple on family tables in this country. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/navidad/home/bacalao-para-navidad/bacalao-navideno

Romeritos

This is another national classic; Christmas romeritos are typical of Mexican cuisine. They are made with romerito leaves, which are not the same as rosemary, and together with a mole poblano, potatoes, and shrimp cakes, they create a delicious recipe for the Christmas season. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/guarniciones/romeritos-para-navidad

Christmas Cake

Dessert can never be missing, we know this, especially at Christmas. That’s why the Christmas cake is just right for the night of the 24th. Some fruits, a bit of spices, and a touch of brandy make it a sweet and special ending for this night of celebration. http://www.kiwilimon.com/receta/postres/panque-navideno
