The best way to prepare a ham for a holiday dinner is to start by soaking it in a brine solution of water, salt and sugar for at least 24 hours. This will help to keep the ham moist during cooking and add flavor. Next, you can either bake or roast the ham according to your preference. Make sure to score the skin before baking to ensure an even cooking time. Finally, let the ham rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
