Looking for a hearty and festive dish for the Christmas season that will warm you up in the cold December weather? Look no further than some Christmas chili! The classic Christmas color combo of red and green naturally appears in these chili ingredients adding some Christmas spirit to the mix! Whether you like chili that has a spicy kick to it or a chili that is more subtle I have you covered! Both are packed with flavor and are guaranteed to add more cheer to the table. While making chili may seem harder it is actually quite easy especially with these simple recipes. For bolder and spicier chili, try the red chili. For a more subtle flavor, opt for the green chili.
