Looking for menu ideas

I know this is SUPER early, but I like to plan ahead lol. I found out I am going to be hosting Christmas day here for just us (DH, DS and I) my parents and my MIL & FIL. In laws are vegetarians, my parents are total carnivores. I want to keep it pretty simple but delicious. We will be having a meal at my parents the following day (w/ other family who can't be there on Christmas) and we will have lamb, ham, etc. So, I am thinking:

-Mozzerella layered with roasted red peppers
-Antipasto platter (olives, cheeses,
artichoke hearts, salami, pepperoni,
baguettes)
-Baked clams

-Baked stuffed shells
-Pot of meatballs
-Garlic bread
-Green mixed salad (probably baby lettuces with sliced cucumbers, grape tomatoes, croutons, balsamic dressing of some kind)

Should I also have some kind of eggplant dish? Any suggestions are very much appreciated!

i think you have a lot of food, but if you want another veg side dish, I've made Giada's vegetable parmesan a few times and it's delicious, and a nice switch from just eggplant, and also not as heavy as parmesan normally is. I skipped the fennel b/c i'm not a fan, used less mozzarella and more grated cheese and my own sauce. it's been delicious every time.
