If you haven't already, it's time to start making your holiday menu plans. That might be a simple task for some, but if you have food allergies, sensitivities or follow a special diet, or have guests who do, it can be a challenge finding foods that are suitable, yet still deliciously festive.

It might seem overwhelming to find solutions for everyone, but with a few simple tips entertaining can be holly and jolly again.

Talk with your guests before the big day and find out more about their needs. Some who eat gluten free can do just fine with foods made in any kitchen, yet others need to follow strict rules to avoid cross-contamination.  

If you're feeding vegetarians or vegans, see what their expectations are. Even if you have plenty of meat-free options on the table, some might not appreciate a giant turkey being carved in front of them for the carnivores. Don't forget to also swap the traditional chicken stock in your stuffing recipe for vegetarian!
