Continuing Holiday Traditions with HoneyBaked Ham
This is a sponsored post in partnership with The Network Niche Influencer Agency and HoneyBaked Ham.
Christmas, to me, has always meant two things: family and good food. When I was a little girl, my family would make the trek every year from Washington DC ( our home) to Alabama where my parents family lived. It was our biggest trip of the year and I always looked forward to it. Not just because it was Christmas time and Santa was coming, but because I would get to see cousins and Grandparents and Aunts and Uncles.
And there would be FOOD.
SO MUCH FOOD.
My family treats Christmas like most people do Thanksgiving. WE COOK. I have vivid memories as a child of my Grandmother mother and Aunt staying up all night chopping and baking and minding pots. I would go to bed smelling the wonderful smells and spices while waiting for Santa to come.
Every year, there is Turkey, and Collard Greens and Mac and Cheese and pies and cakes and potato salad and dressing corn casserole, sweet potatoes……
And Ham.
There is always a Ham
In the last few years, the task has gradually fallen on me, to cook ALL THE THINGS( except pie. I don’t do pie), and this year won’t be any different. Last year, Christmas was hosted at my home, but this year, we will be traveling back to Washington DC, since my brother finally got a house big enough for all of us, and the Christmas Eve ritual of cooking all the food will continue.
With all the traveling and arriving on Christmas Eve, we are going to be very busy and a few things won’t get cooked.
But, like I said before…there will be ham.
This year, that Ham will be from the HoneyBaked Ham store because with all the traveling and arriving on Christmas Eve, there will be no time to cook both a ham AND a Turkey! But the wonderful thing about a HoneyBaked Ham is that wonderful taste of home that will make our Christmas Dinner complete.
I love a HoneyBaked ham! It’s spiral sliced and finished with the sweet, crunchy glaze that has set HoneyBaked Ham apart for generations…….
I mean LOOK AT THAT!!
Having that HoneyBaked Ham is going to allow me to not spend half of Christmas day in the kitchen, and more time with my family! I can’t wait!

What does your family serve on Christmas Day?
The photos of your ham makes me so hungry. I’ll try to find a recipe and make one for myself or better yet i’ll just buy one at the store!
my family loves to serve ham, turkey and a smoked chicken along with mac and cheese, green bean casserole and all the fixings on Christmas Day!
oh myy. this honey baked ham looks super delish. wow
We always do ham for the christmas since turkey is for Thanksgiving. Plus I love all the many meals I get out of the leftover ham. Always a winner in my household.
I serve a ham on Thanksgiving and it’s always so delicious! On Christmas Day we grill steaks. I would love a Honeybaked Ham for Christmas Eve. We always have soup and sandwiches.
I got to appreciate honeybaked ham when we tried making one a few Christmases ago. It’s one of the things I am really looking forward to.
I love our holiday traditions!! Ham is one of our favorites to have for Christmas dinners, plus it makes for great leftovers.
This honeybaked ham looks so delicious. It’s so important to continue holiday traditions. I have so many traditions I remember from my childhood that I’m trying to pass on to my girls.
Oh my gosh, yum!!! We’re totally a honeybaked ham family, we always do ham for every major holiday. 🙂
Oh my my mouth is watering now how absolutely delicious does that ham look!
I love a good honey baked ham myself. As I do not usually prepare Christmas dinner for me and my family, I usually don’t get the choice of what kind of food gets served, though. That’s okay. I hate cooking even worse than not getting a honey baked ham.
We loved Honeybaked Ham. I was so happy to see they just put one near us.
I have to admit that I cook turkey for Thanksgiving and ham for Christmas along with New Years. The Honey Ham Store is something I never heard of but will have to check out. Thanks for sharing the giveaway.
We usually get a HoneyBaked Ham every Christmas. It’s our favorite ham.
I have had this one time and it was so good. I usually go for the cheaper route but nothing compares to Honey Baked Ham
We normally have Ham as well with all the fixings. What a great giveaway.
I really enjoy Honey Bake Hams, but I find it interesting that I don’t think about the hams until the holiday times. I bet this time of the year is probably the busiest.
Oh goodness, this looks amazing. I love honey baked ham!
Honeybaked ham is the BEST. I love the holidays and all the good food, but ham is definitely a favourite!
We usually do Prime Rib on Christmas Day, and Honeybaked Ham on Christmas Eve.
Oh wow, that ham looks absolutely amazing. I don’t cook ham very well myself so Honeybaked Ham is a must! Christmas can’t come soon enough 🙂
We cook and we eat! We cook and we eat. And I bake. This is my favorite time of year. I’m planning to celebrate like it’s a holiday every month in 2017. It’s good for the soul. As for the ham, I can still remember the first time I had a honey baked ham. OMG! I look forward to eat every holiday season.
My family normally has turkey, but it would be fun to switch it up with some ham!
We cook ham, devil eggs, Mac and cheese, collard greens, bake beans, sweet potato pie, apple pie, cream corn, candy yams.
I am a ham and turkey person at the holidays. I love both and am a fan of Honeybaked hams.
We tend to gravitate back to my maternal Grandma’s recipes during Christmas. Her stack cake, rum cake, cornbread stuffing, etc., are the foods that always mean Christmas dinner even though she’s been gone over 25 years.
We actually serve honey baked ham! It’s been a tradition for the last few Easters and Christmases.
I serve Honey Glazed Ham, scalloped potatoes, cranberries, honey glazed carrots, rolls.
