Sterling Silver® Beef Prime Rib Easy Carve Roast
![Cook prime rib roast on a wooden cutting board with roasted garlic, onions, and sprigs of rosemary](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/beef-prime-rib-easy-carve-roast.jpg)
This flavourful Christmas rib roast is cut from hand-selected Canadian AAA beef with the bones separated and tied back on for easy carving. Before digging into this crowd-favourite roast, offer your guests Ile de France Petit Brie with some Fig & Thyme Panache Crisps as an appetizer or build a charcuterie board with meats like the sliced dry salami trio by Fantino & Mondello. The creamy, flavourful cheese, saltiness from the salami, and the slightly sweet and savoury crunch from the crisps pair wonderfully with the richness of the beef.

![Prepared top sirloin roast on a cutting board with onion and sprigs of rosemary](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/beef_top-sirloin-roast.jpg)
Aged to perfection and well-marbled, this top sirloin roast (also made from Canadian AAA beef) might be the one of the best roasts for Christmas. As your holiday visitors arrive and the roast is in the oven, start by offering Compliments Mixed Nuts with Truffle Flavouring. The rich, umami flavour of truffles adds sophistication to your celebrations. Wash the whole decadent meal down with a glass of Compliments Cran GingerAle, which offers a bit of tartness and spice that works great with your roast. End the evening with cheesecake or eclairs from Panache Frozen Desserts.

Cool everything down for dessert with Panache’s Mistletoe Wish Ice Cream. The peppermint flavour, chocolatey fudge swirls, and colourful icing flakes scream holiday happiness.

The Sterling Silver® Beef Sirloin Tip Roast Royale is the perfect centrepiece for your holiday table, featuring a self-basting prime rib fat cap and pre-seasoned with Compliments steak spice, ensuring minimal prep work and maximum family time. Before you sit down for the turf, offer your crowd some surf in the form of the Panache Shrimp Tempura appetizer. Serve salad with your roast, and crumble in a festive cheese like Woolwich Cranberry Cinnamon Goat Cheese Log, which adds a little sugar, spice, and everything nice. Once your feast is over, put on the kettle and fill your mugs with Compliments Winter Blend Coffee or White Hot Chocolate with mini white marshmallows. It’s like a hug in a cup!

The Pork Porchetta Roast is boneless and seasoned with festive flavours like garlic, sage, and rosemary. It’s then wrapped in fat and skin to lock in the delicious, savoury taste. Before your visiting family sits down to dinner, start the festivities with Compliments Prime Rib Beef Meatballs. They are easy to heat and eat on the end of a toothpick. Grab some Ready for You squash for a yummy side that works well with pork. End on a sweet note with Compliment Chocolate Peppermint Mini Cupcakes, delivering a festive and indulgent finish to your celebration.

Pork Crown Roast
![Pork crown roast sitting on a plate with halved and quartered apples and some herb leaves](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/pork_crown-roast.jpg)
This photo-worthy roast will be discussed long after the holiday season. The Pork Crown Roast is where the pork loin is frenched and curved in a circular shape. This show-stopper can be finished with an orange-pomegranate glaze garnished with fresh pomegranates. Pork and apples are also a winning combination, so why not serve Compliments Apple Pie with a scoop of ice cream for dessert? Instead of plain old vanilla, try the Compliments Candy Cane Ice Cream that’s seasonally refreshing.

Boneless Lamb Leg Roast
![Fully cooked lamb leg roast on a plate with sprigs of herbs and two pieces sliced off](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/lamb_leg-roast.jpg)
You can help elevate your holiday spread if you let the Boneless Lamb Leg Roast take centre stage. This roast is not just visually striking, but it also includes melt-in-your-mouth, tender meat. While you cook, have your guests snack on a bold cheese like the Kerrygold Irish Dubliner with a box of your favourite crackers. That will give you time to prepare sautéed or roasted asparagus to go with the lamb roast. The perfect end to a decadent meal, simply plate fresh raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries, and you’re done!

Boneless Stuffed Turkey Breast
![A turkey roast stuffed with pork, cranberry, and apple stuffing on a long oval plate with fresh cranberry and herb sprigs](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/stuffed-turkey_breast.jpg)
Most people would argue that the best roast for Christmas is turkey. The Boneless Stuffed Turkey Breast may be too festive with pork, cranberry, and apple stuffing on the inside. Perfect for a gathering of up to six people, the roast is only missing a side of potatoes for a classic turkey dinner, so grab the Ready for You potatoes instead. Before you chow down, keep with the poultry theme and spread the Compliments Chicken Meatballs for a quick and tasty hors d’oeuvre. Don’t stress about dessert! Just open a box of Panache Pecan Clusters for a smooth, creamy, and crunchy treat.

Homestyle Seasoned Chicken Roast
![A whole, seasoned chicken roast with herbs, half a lemon, and pieces of onion on a plate](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/seasoned-chicken-roast.jpg)
Turkey isn’t the only poultry option for your holiday table. Instead, try our juicy and tender Homestyle Seasoned Chicken Roast. A great combination of rosemary, garlic, and a dash of coziness, makes for an impressive roast. Before enjoying your main course, kick off the meal with an effortless appetizer featuring cream cheese spread over crunchy crackers, perfectly complemented by a dollop of Panache Tangy Red Pepper Jelly. You can also quickly heat up Compliments Breaded Pickle Spears for another appetizer with tang and crunch. For dessert, keep it simple with a fruit tray that showcases a colourful array of fresh fruits, providing a refreshing and light end to your meal.

Porchetta Style Turkey Roast
![The Porchetta Style Turkey Roast with two pieces cut off, on a plate with some herbs and onions](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/porchetta_turkey-roast.jpg)
The herbaceous Porchetta Style Turkey Roast can be cooked on the barbecue, in a smoker, or in the oven. This roast is perfect for serving at least four people and goes great with a side of greens. Before digging into your roast, serve something sweet and spicy like the Compliments Hot Honey Chicken Wings. You’ll also want to grab a handful of clementines to add wedges to a leafy salad with a tangy vinaigrette for a simple and delicious side dish. After all those bold flavours, cool down with the winning combination of chocolate and hazelnut. We recommend Compliments Milk Chocolate Toffee Hazelnuts and Panache Chocolate Hazelnut Rolled Wafers. Yum!

![A long oval plate with the stuffed salmon roast, herbs, quartered lemons and half an apple](/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/stuffed_salmon.jpg)
Try this simple yet elegant lemon and herb Stuffed Salmon Roast, expertly prepared so you can focus on other festivities. Make your gathering a seafood feast with some fresh oysters as a starter. All you’ll have to do is create a quick lemon-herb mignonette. Panache Crispy Calamari is another crowd-pleasing app that fits the theme and offers a satisfying crunch. Just don’t forget a lemon! After all the fish and shellfish have been digested, we recommend putting out a Panache Holiday Biscuit Tin for easy snacking with a warm beverage of your choice.
