The Ultimate Guide to Holiday Grilling!

The holidays are here, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by gathering around the grill or fire pit to create mouthwatering dishes and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re hosting a grand family feast, an intimate gathering with friends, or simply enjoying a cozy evening by the fire, grilling adds a unique and flavorful twist to your holiday traditions.

Grilling isn’t just for summer—it’s the secret ingredient to making your holiday meals stand out. From perfectly roasted meats to sides bursting with smoky flavor and desserts that satisfy every sweet tooth, your grill can do it all. At Iconic Flame, we’re all about helping you transform your outdoor space into the ultimate holiday haven. This guide is packed with tips, recipes, and ideas to inspire your holiday menu and ensure your celebrations are as festive and delicious as possible.

So, light up the grill, gather your loved ones, and let’s make this holiday season truly iconic!

1. Start with the Star of the Show: The Roast

Ah, the roast—the centerpiece of any holiday feast. There’s something about the aroma of a beautifully grilled turkey, beef tenderloin, or glazed ham that just screams "holiday magic." The grill doesn’t just cook the roast; it transforms it into something incredible—juicy, flavorful, and with that perfect crispy exterior.

Pro Tip: Trust me, the wireless thermometer is a total game-changer. It ensures that you’ll get that roast exactly how you want it, no more guessing or opening the lid to check every five minutes. (And yes, I’ve done it myself too.) Want to know more about cooking a roast on the grill? Here’s a helpful guide!

Flavor Boost: Add some wood chips to your grill for an extra layer of smoky goodness. Whether you go for hickory, mesquite, or applewood, trust me—your guests will be begging you for the secret ingredient!

2. Grilled Veggies That Steal the Show

Now, were all about the main course, but let’s not forget about those sides! Grilled veggies—like smoky Brussels sprouts, caramelized sweet potatoes, or even grilled corn—bring a burst of flavor and that perfect holiday touch. And have you ever grilled stuffing in a cast-iron skillet? If not, you’re in for a treat.

Pro Tip: If you’re short on time or looking for an easy crowd-pleaser, throw some corn in foil with butter, salt, and herbs, and toss it on the grill. It’s simple, but trust me—it’s a hit every single time.

3. Sweets by the Fire Pit

Okay, let’s be real—what’s the holiday season without a little sweetness? Dessert on the grill? Yep, it’s a thing, and it’s delicious. Think grilled pineapple, peach cobbler in a cast-iron pan, and of course—s’mores. If you’ve never made s’mores by a fire pit, it’s an experience you have to try!

Cozy Add-On: Set up one of our fire pits and gather around with your loved ones. The warmth, the sweet treats, the crackle of the fire—honestly, it’s everything.

4. Tools That Make Grilling a Breeze

Look, we know you want to focus on the fun and the food, but having the right tools makes all the difference. From a reliable grill to those little accessories that make grilling smoother (like a BBQ tool set or grill mats), the right gear can make holiday grilling stress-free and enjoyable.

At Iconic Flame, we’ve handpicked the best grills and accessories because we know that your holiday moments are too precious to leave to chance. Whether you go for a sleek Napoleon grill or one of our curated BBQ gift sets, I promise you’ll be grilling like a pro in no time.

5. Grilling Together: The Best Part of the Holidays

Here’s what we love most about holiday grilling—it's a chance to make memories together. Have the kids help prep the veggies, let someone take charge as the “s’mores master,” and don’t forget the laughs. I can already picture the smiles and the joy as you gather around, sharing stories and enjoying a warm, delicious meal.
