We Love Christmas Party Appetizers

With so much entertaining that happens around the holidays, a list of go-to easy Christmas appetizers is never a bad idea, because we are firm believers that you can’t go wrong with yummy appetizers at your gatherings.

To make any party a success, we’ve included a mix of warm and cold, heavy and light, sweet and savory, proteins and produce. Incorporate dishes made in different ways – oven, slow cooker, instant pot, and stove – so that they’re easier to prepare at the same time. 😉

For an easy cheese board simply add some of your favorite cheeses, pecans, prosciutto, crackers, and garnish with fresh herbs!

    I made a huge batch of the bacon wrapped smokies for a Christmas party earlier this month. I froze a couple of dozen to make on Christmas morning. I thawed them in the fridge overnight, added the brown sugar and baked them. Perfect addition to our Christmas morning breakfast.
