Because of the global health crisis, we’re not expecting to see the usual big Christmas parties, and we’re probably not going to be catching up with our friends over the holidays (at least, not physically). And in these uncertain times, many of us will be putting our paychecks into our emergency funds rather than going on Christmas spending sprees. But all this doesn’t mean that the Christmas spirit is gone. You can still make Christmas Masaya Kayang-Kaya with a little bit of diskarte.
Spend the holiday with your family at home and set up virtual Christmas parties with friends. And of course, you can still make your noche buena menu special with these easy, affordable yet delicious dishes, made flavorful with your supreme diskarte partner: MAGGI MAGIC SARAP and MAGGI SUPREME SARAP.
Start off your noche buena meal right with this crab and vegetable soup. Thick and full of chunks of crab meat and veggies, this warm soup would surely prepare your tummies for the delicious dinner ahead. Check out the recipe here.
A Pinoy celebration staple, lechon cannot not be on your handaan spread. But of course, since your 2020 noche buena is probably a little more low-key than usual, you won’t really need the entire suckling pig on the table. But you could always get some lechon meat and maybe put a new twist to it — like putting it in a lumpia! Check out the recipe here.
This vegetable dish is as versatile as any dish could be. Just toss some pork or maybe even just mushrooms together with whatever vegetables you have on hand — from string beans and carrots to cabbage and cauliflower —and you’ve got yourself a winning healthy dish. Level it up with MAGGI SUPREME SARAP that adds add that meaty linamnam, lapot, and langhap to any dish, even veggies! Check out the recipe here.

For Christmas, take your adobo a step further than your everyday recipe. Instead of simply making your pork meat tender, try turning it crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You’ll definitely enjoy the sweet and salty notes in each bite of this pork adobo, whether on its own or paired with rice. Check out the recipe here.
While it may not be as crispy as its pork counterpart, bangus sisig is still as tangy and flavorful as the traditional pork sisig. But unlike the fatty snout, jowls, and ears, the flaked fish is definitely easier and quicker to prepare — and of course, healthier and more affordable. Check out the recipe here.
While you probably love rice just as much as every Pinoy, sometimes it’s good to change things up, and the best and easiest way to make your rice more exciting is to turn it into a fried rice with heaps of sahog. Toss in your favorite veggies and some pork barbeque and you’ve already got a new twist to your plain rice. Check out the recipe here.
Keso de bola may only show up on the grocery shelves every Christmas season, but you could create dozens of dishes with this aged, hard cheese, from desserts such as cheesecake to pasta dishes like this Mac and Keso de Bola with Ham. Perfect for the holiday season, kids in the family would surely finish this off during noche buena. Check out the recipe here.
