There was a thread on this very topic here a couple of ago. Either
google for the thread or take a walk through the freezer isles of your
local grocery store for ideas. You should be able to duplicated most
commercially prepared dishes at home.

<chuckle) I see the topic's been around for a couple days -- I'd been
skipping it and, for some reason, decided today to have a look see.
Great idea, Nan!!

Standard freezer meals in my family specific to the holidays are soup
and bread, hamuburger BBQ, chili, and stuffed peppers. Soup/bread from
the freezer is our traditional Christmas Eve dinner (along with shrimp
cocktail that comes from my grandmother's grocery store - would be
unacceptable quality on any other day, but tradition makes up for
taste). Hamburger BBQ gets put back in the crockpot on the day that
relatives come to visit/see the tree. And of course Christmas dinner is
planned with an eye to insuring frozen leftovers of filling, turkey,
sweet potatoes, etc. for NYE, NYD, and beyond.
Chili and stuffed peppers are great freezer meals any day.

Chicken broth, beef broth. Meatballs (very versatile). Spaghetti
sauce. Turkey cheeks. Cooked beef stew meat, frozen in it's broth. I
wouldn't freeze it with the vegetables, though. What about brisket,
sliced and frozen with broth. Look in the freezer section of the
supermarket for ideas and then make your own and freeze it.
