Your Jewish friends are used to playing second fiddle to Christmas. I mean Hanukkah? They've tried to commercialize it as much as they can and get a menorah in every public place with a Christmas tree for a holiday that is far from their most important one. Smart really. Their important holidays are kept as purely religious events. I don't think they'll be offended if you are serving pork.
The people who you really should be thinking about are the vegetarians. When you serve them canned green beans and mashed potatoes with no gravy and bread from a pop up can you can't expect them to come back again.
I say the official Christmas food should be vegetarian chili. It is easy to make so you can spend more time with your family. There will be plenty for everyone. It is good for you. And vegetarian chili tastes just as good as meat chili (if prepared correctly) so even the Jews, Muslims, and vegetarians can share the warmth of your home. They can share even more warmth when you bring out the jar of imported chilies and start making Christmas dares.
