Dear Rob,

Keep the kitchen calm on Christmas morning with make-ahead homemade Caramelized Ham & Swiss Buns from Iris Weihemuller. The Baxter, Minnesota mom lets them marinate overnight and pops them in the oven the next day while the family checks to see if Santa visited. Find these and more home-for-the-holidays recipes in our very merriest December issue.

Yes, you can have your eggnog and eat it, too. Yuletide Eggnog Cupcakes from Salina Moore of Woodward, Oklahoma contain that holiday drink along with the spices that make it special. Cheers to that!

Whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year, we hope you share it with food, family and friends.
