Christmas Dinner Timeline Spreadsheet | Holiday Cooking Schedule

Big dinners go wrong when everything needs the oven at once. Work backwards from the moment you sit down: the spreadsheet turns 'turkey in 4 hours before' into a sorted clock-time schedule you can print and follow, and warns you when two dishes need different oven temperatures at the same time.

What's included

• Plan tab: up to 30 steps with minutes-before, where and oven temperature
• Timeline tab: auto-sorted by clock time, ready to print
• Oven clash warnings
• Turkey helper: rough roasting time from weight (lb or kg) and thaw guide
• Sample Christmas dinner plan to edit

Who it's for

• Hosts cooking Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner
• First-time holiday hosts
• Anyone juggling several dishes and one oven

Good to know

• Works in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets (File > Import) and LibreOffice Calc.
• All formulas were recalculated and checked for errors before release.
• Roasting times are rough estimates: always check with a meat thermometer (165°F / 74°C) and follow packaging and food-safety guidance.
