Cooking a gluten-free menu can be tricky to begin with—from sourcing ingredients to finding good recipes—but it's even harder around the holiday season, when wheat pops up in everything from Christmas cookies to dinner rolls. Luckily, there are plenty of options that allow you to serve an indulgent, festive meal that people who can't eat gluten (and those who can!) will love.

Looking for appetizers? Buckwheat-cheddar blinis topped with smoked salmon are a good bet (yes, buckwheat is gluten-free). Figuring out your main? You can stick with the classic Christmas ham, but if you’re in the mood to switch things up, roast chicken will also work beautifully. As for dessert? You can do cookies, cake, or both. We particularly love how festive raspberry macarons are, with jewel-red jam poking out between the pink cookies. Find the recipe and more of our favorite gluten-free holiday dishes below.
