25 New Holiday Make Ahead Casseroles

The holidays are almost here and with that comes lots of friends and family popping over. I am doing another post for you to help you out, 25 New Holiday Make Ahead Casseroles.

Prior to this post, I did 25 Make Ahead Thanksgiving Recipes and it was a smashing success. A few years ago when I was just starting to do roundups I did Special Thanksgiving Makeahead Casseroles. Of course, you can use all of those too for the Christmas holidays and some even into Easter!!

So in total, I am giving you loads of choices for easy side dishes for the holiday season and beyond!! Come let’s jump in and see what I have for you in this collection!! I have divided them into categories for ease of finding!! Cheers!!

And here is a bonus make ahead and one that I love Sage Havarti Butternut Squash Lasagna. This is rich and creamy and tastes so much like fall. It would go great with turkey, chicken as well as ham and beef. 

Face it, the holidays are stressful enough having to make sure you have all your corn, butternut squash, rice, broccoli, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, turkey, and apple pie are made.

Add all those things on top of decorating, setting the table, cleaning, and getting ready to host and you have a busy, stressful day ahead.

The good news is, there are ways to prepare days in advance, making the big day far less rushed. All of these make ahead casseroles are perfect for the holidays and will give you the time you want on the big day to enjoy them.
