Disclosure: I received a gift card in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
Christmas Day at our house is always a big ham dinner. I don’t know why we don’t eat ham more often but when we do, I really want to enjoy it! Now though that we host Christmas Day it is a little more stressful for me. Christmas Eve is spent with my husband’s family so I’m not home to clean or prep anything and then you can imagine the craziness we have going on here on Christmas morning. I need easy but good.
My parents hadn’t had HoneyBaked Ham in years so I decided to treat them to a dinner from there last week when my dad was here fixing our furnace. I figured if it went good then I could pick up HoneyBaked Ham for Christmas dinner! After the first bite, my mom said “I can’t believe we forgot about HoneyBaked Ham all these years!”
I headed to my local HoneyBaked Ham in Naperville, IL , and picked up a 4 lb. Boneless Ham. The 4 lb. ham is said to feed 8-10 which along with side dishes I say is about right. What is awesome about the ham is it is already cooked, you don’t even need to heat it up if you don’t want. Since I had bought the ham ahead of time, I actually froze ours which I wouldn’t recommend if you don’t have to. I cooked it from frozen and it was good but we like our ham hot and it takes awhile to heat it up. I like being able to go right from the fridge to our oven to heat it up. I also picked up some side dishes which are Heat & Share Sides. All you have to do heat them up right in their packages in either the oven or microwave I cooked them all in our microwave in about 5 minutes each.
I didn’t get a picture of the packages but they are seriously perfect dishes to pick up and serve to a crowd. I served them on platters to look a little nicer, but you can serve them right out of the black plastic containers they come in.
This are sides I picked up last time we had HoneyBaked Ham just to show you how they come:
The sides I picked are: Mashed Cauliflower, Mashed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots.
What makes HoneyBaked Ham so special and delicious?
Each HoneyBaked Ham is hand-selected for its leanness and smoked for up to 24 hours. Then the ham is spiral-sliced to the bone so each piece is tender and juicy. If you think all hams are the same, your definitely wrong, HoneyBaked Ham is different. Maybe its the crunch glaze or the juices, but it is definitely an amazing hunk of meat! I don’t think I could use a non-HoneyBaked Ham with my family again!
Oh and of course HoneyBaked Ham sells desserts to complete your meal!

Love Honey baked hams. I like to serve ham instead of turkey and the left overs are great for sandwiches and also make mac and cheese and cut up ham cubes to put in it. Family loves it.
