Christmas in Texas looks a little different depending on who you ask. For some, it's tamales and brisket. For others, it's prime rib in the oven, ribeyes on the grill, or a holiday brisket low and slow on the smoker. One thing most folks can agree on? Beef still finds its way to the table at Christmas.
This year, beef might come with a little more sticker shock. Beef prices have continued to climb, and many families are feeling it when they're planning their holiday meals. Still, smokers will fire up, grills will light, and families will gather around the cuts and recipes that have become traditions.
With bowl games on the TV and family rolling in from out of town, December remains one of the biggest beef months of the year.
