Not Christmassy but recently I've been blitzing them in the food processor and stir frying with garlic and white wine vinegar in sesame oil.

Might give roasting them a gan this year. This is the first time we are having dinner at home so fancy something different to the usual sprouts boiled within an inch of their life
