Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's time to get into the joyful holiday spirit. It's that special time of the year when families get together and not only give gifts and spread holiday cheer, but enjoy some of the best food of the year. Christmas Eve and Christmas day brunches, dinners and desserts are always special, and Food Network is airing specials all season long to help you make this year the most memorable yet.
From Christmas cookies to Christmas morning cinnamon rolls, to the many fishes of Christmas Eve, the Food Network chef's do it all! There are baking competitions, holiday themed episodes of their hit shows like "Chopped," "Cutthroat Kitchen" and "Guy's Grocery Games," and of course, those Food Network specials where the chefs welcome us into their own home to show us how its done.
