I've done the same for my husband's family years ago downunder. Here's a list of tips which you should consider:
- Plan the menu asking even your guests whether they want a traditional dinner and what is traditional for them.
- Make sure to include some of your favourites (dishes that you can cook very well and which everybody likes)
- Since you're going to be travelling to Canada , depending on what day you'll arrive, make sure that someone has already done the grocery shopping for you, or at least ORDERED everything to be picked up on the 24/12
- Make sure to pack some French traditional foodstuffs that you're allowed to , such as chocolates for instance, or ... cheeses, or a good bottle of champagne (I believe you can bring cheeses but check with customs first).. simply because it's fun and they may not have the same range over there.
- Pack some nice decorations for your table (for instance, red napkin rings? or a nice Christmas tablecloth or a candle holder ) and perhaps.... prepare the layout for your menu to print out on the 24

Well, my future in-laws are Canadian as is my sweetie & our first holiday was a nightmare!! I'm from Ga, so we have "dressing" - homemade cornbread dressing, to be exact - Well, Canadians have this mushy paste like stuff of sausage, bread & broth & then actually fill the turkey with that mess. It was aweful! Then, my future father in-law was VERY upset that his sweet potato casserole did not have marshmellows on it - it had a brown sugar/frosted cereal topping. Every dish I tried to make, they eat completely differently - except for the mashed potatoes & deviled eggs. It was definitely an experience.

We have turkey with mashed potatoes, stuffing, yams, corn, sometimes ham, cooked veggies, u also don't want to forget the cranberry sauce, oh and gravy. For desert a nice cheesecake and or hot apple crumble, some hot apple cyder. You will be fine, just remember basting the turkey is tres important.

Turkey with all the "trimmings". "Trimmings" include mashed potatoes, stuffing, some other sort of vegetable, (our family likes peas), fresh dinner buns are always good. Dessert can be almost anything. Traditional being "plum" or "Christmas" pudding. Joyeaux Noel!!!
