Craft and Vine In Downtown Augusta Is Now Craftmas For The Holiday Season
Craft and Vine has done it again! Another theme for this local restaurant – so from now until the end of December the restaurant will be known as Craftmas.
Craft and Vine is no stranger when it comes to a theme – and certainly not the Christmas theme.
Previously, during the summertime, the restaurant transformed into a summer camp. From the decorations to the menu, they created a whole new experience for its customers. They also transformed the restaurant for Halloween as well. Another recent theme the restaurant held was to help raise money and awareness for Maui Fires.
Craftmas 2023
That is a similar approach for Craftmas 2023. Craftmas 2023 will be held from 5 pm – 11 pm. Extended hours will begin Tuesday, December 5, and the days and times will be Tuesday through Saturday from 5 pm to midnight.
While this is a popular pop-up shop happening in the CSRA, no reservations will be taken, it will be first come first serve.
This only happens once a year!
Here is a little about last years menu:
A menu that includes classic cocktails, like the “Oh, Christmas Tree” or “Santa’s Special Cookie Jar” that serves 4.
Festive snacks like the “Turducken Pizza” or “Whoville Roast Beast Poutine.”
And to spread more holiday cheer, the entire Craft & Vine team wears their favorite holiday gear and of course, the restaurant will be decked out with the Christmas décor.
4 Great Christmas Dinner Options For The Whole Family
Now that the Thanksgiving meal is behind us and we are all still feeling more than stuffed, it’s time we shift our focus. To more food! Here, we’ll cut into four great dinner options to feed the whole family at Christmas dinner.
Yes, Thanksgiving requires a lot of hours in the kitchen. Prepping a turkey, maybe even frying one, takes some proper attention. Then, to some, the most important part is the sides that go with the main attraction. Again, making these side dishes means cooking up a storm. However, perhaps we underappreciate the art of this meal. For the most part, the menu is designed for us. Furthermore, it is consistent every year. All you have to decide is how much to make based around how many people will be gathered around your table.
Fast forward a month, and it’s time to prepare another epic holiday meal. In addition to running around to grab last-minute gifts, if you are hosting a Christmas get-together you have to do a lot of preparing, again.
The Magic of Christmas Cooking
Here, we are going to break down some options to jump-start your Christmas prep. First, let’s set the table on some criteria, and some bust some myths. You certainly do not need to reinvent the wheel and cook up something extraordinarily unique. In fact, it’s best to keep it simple. Dozens of classic dishes have already been well-established as delicious to satisfy your family, friends, and guests.
The thought process in suggesting these four Christmas dinner options is that they are proven to be delightful. They can also be prepared in large batches that do not require a tremendous amount of hours in the kitchen. These meals are family-friendly and are sharable. Some of them you may even be able to combine together. Again, this list won’t spark an idea that’s never been cooked up. Perhaps it just serves as a simple reminder that these Christmas dinner menu items can be straightforward and delicious enough.
