I like Chocolate pudding pie, and it is easy to make.
Just get Oreo pie crust, then make cook and serve chocolate pudding. Poor hot pudding into the crust, and let it set. Then make sure you have whip cream. Easy to make, and yummy. Also I like mashed potatoes, turkey, sweet potatoes, green bean cassarolle. Pretty much the same fixings as Thanksgiving.

Christmas means so many different things to different people. You don't give much information about your family - but you probably know their likes.
I would make sure I have the tried and true favorites, so no-one is disappointed, and then add a few new dishes. For example, my mother also makes a wild-rice stuffing along with the traditional cornbread stuffing. It has wild rice, carrots, celery, mushrooms and is delicious.
I personally also really like baked apples with cinnamon and sugar, and sweet potatoes that are just barely sweetened, but have a pinch of clove and cinnamon along with my turkey and mashed potatoes.
Despite it being a holiday, some people may be watching their sugar or fat intake, so a desert that is "lighter" might be appreciated. For example angle food cake is very low fat, and can be served with many different toppings - from strawberries to whipped cream and fudge sauce with heath-bars crumbled into it.
Most important, have a nice time with your family. It is not all about the food.

Gotta have a big roasted stuffed turkey!
Mashed potatoes & gravy, turnip or squash,
brussel sprouts or broccoli or green bean casserole.
Maybe a small ham as well for those who don't like turkey.
There are some in large families, unless they are Jewish.
Pumpkin or pecan pie, with whipped topping.
Or heated fruit pie with ice-cream.
maybe a shrimp ring while they are waiting for dinner.
Perhaps a cheese platter for after, with sherry or port.
