Grilling Ideas for Winter Holidays

November 30, 2020 by Backyard Staff

Outdoor Living /

When planning holiday meals, it can be easy to fall back on standby recipes and cooking techniques. But, that can also become a little boring. Why not mix it up this year by firing up the grill instead of the oven? Feast your eyes on these winter holiday eats, each coming by way of the grill. Try one (or as many as you’d like) to create even more memories this time of year.

The Main Event

The star of any holiday meal is the protein. So, check out some of our favorite winter grilling entrees.

Smoked turkey is a great recipe idea for winter grilling

Pickled Peppers

These peppers pack a punch, adding a spicy kick to any holiday meal. And the best part? They’re easy to make at home.

Just Dessert

You can even make pecan pie on the grill this winter for a warm, sweet treat.

Dessert on the Grill

Grillmaster? Baker? With this recipe, you’re both. Yes, you can make dessert on the grill, too. It’s all about the right recipe, and we have one. Serve this grilled Pecan Scotch Pie to your guests and they’ll be amazed that it was all created out back.
