Christmas Party Food Ideas
There’s no shortage of Christmas party food ideas on the web, but I’m making it easy for you by gathering a bunch of the easiest ones.
Want even more? Take a peek at these Christmas appetizers.
1. Fruits and cheese tray
Fruit and cheese trays are really easy to make, and you can mix and match different cheese types and fruit of different colors for a really nice eye appeal. Everyone enjoys these too!
2. Christmas Tree Cheese Board
This will take a bit of time, but you can buy the cheese already cubed and the it’ll be a breeze. Shape it into a tree, add some organic cherry or grape tomatoes, and finish up with some herbs sprigs. You can use rosemary, dill, basil, or whatever is easier for you to find at your local store.
3. Mini Pizzas
Everyone loves pizza! Have some fun creating mini cookie cutter pizzas. Buy refrigerated Crescent dough sheet, take your cookie cutters out and have some fun creating fun shaped pizzas. Add a bit of pizza sauce, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and decorate with some basil, oregano or black olives (or anything your imagination comes up with).
Or, like you see below, just fold the dough, add a slice of tomato and some seasonings. Soo many possibilities!
4. Caprese and tomatoes skewers
These only take minutes and are delicious and cute at the same time. Of course, you can create your own version of it with what you have on hand.
5. Pine Cone Cheese Ball

You can use spreads, spreads, or just plain veggies with some mayo and herbs.
