If you’re looking for a no-fuss holiday main dish—or just want to make Sunday dinner a little extra—this Crockpot Coca-Cola Ham is a total game-changer. The sweetness from the soda paired with the tang of Dijon and a brown sugar glaze gives this ham a rich, sticky-sweet flavor that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen. But really? Your slow cooker is doing all the heavy lifting.

This recipe is a crowd-pleaser and couldn’t be easier. Toss everything in your Crockpot, let it do its thing for a few hours, and boom—you’ve got a juicy, flavorful ham that practically falls apart.

Tips & Tricks

Use a slow cooker liner – Clean-up is so much easier.
Spiral-cut hams work best – The glaze gets into every little slice.
Can’t fit the lid? – Wrap the top tightly with foil and seal those edges.
Baste halfway through – Optional, but it helps the glaze soak in even more.
Let it rest – Give your ham about 10 minutes before slicing so the juices stay locked in.

FAQs

You can, but regular Coca-Cola gives the best flavor and caramelization. Dr. Pepper or root beer also work well!

Most 6-8 quart slow cookers can handle a 9–10 pound ham. Just make sure to place it cut-side down and adjust as needed.

Nope! The brown sugar and mustard mixture cooks right in the slow cooker, so it’s hands-off from start to finish.

Low and slow is best for a tender, juicy ham—but if you’re short on time, high for about 2.5–3 hours can work.

Wrap tightly or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes beautifully for future meals!
