What sides to serve with ham for Easter for kids

Published: Mar 23, 2023 Β· Modified: Dec 17, 2023 by Morgan Β· This post may contain affiliate links Β·

Planning Easter dinner and need Easter ideas for your kids? If you're making ham, you'll need some side dishes! Here are the best side dishes to serve with ham for Easter for kids!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It has a beautiful religious message, and it has lots of fun for the kids. The both of best worlds!

Growing up, my husband's family treated Easter as a second Thanksgiving and had a HUGE meal. This wasn't how my family did it, but I love it as a fun family tradition.

My husband and kids LOVE a honey baked ham. I love that you can buy it good to go and just slice and heat it. It makes the meal so much easier!

Anyways, planning a holiday meal can be complex, so today I wanted to help you to brainstorm side dish ideas for your Easter ham.
