My Favorite Holiday Appetizers

Appetizers are my favorite part of holiday parties. My ideal meal is just a bunch of apps. Rounding up all my favorites below!

Pizza Ryes

My mom makes these for our family Christmas party every year. They’re a good one to prep ahead and freeze!

Mini Philly Cheese “Steak” Sliders

I love a slider! Baked on Hawaiian rolls, you could also prep these ahead of time and throw in the oven when you’re ready to serve.

Boursin Spinach Dip

Classic spinach dip even better.

Green Chili Jam Cheesy Sausage Cups

One of my most popular recipes, these little appetizer cups are addictive! If you can’t find the green chili jam (you should, it’s so good!) you can sub pepper jelly.

Sweet Chili Meatballs

Another family favorite recipes is meatballs. I mix it up a bit by adding sweet chili sauce. These are great for the crockpot!

Trader Joe’s Copy-Cat Step Up to the Bar Snack Mix

I’m obsessed with this snack mix that only comes out at the holidays at Trader Joe’s. It always runs out, so I made my own! Put it in a few bowls around the house when you’re having people over. We also love to bag this up as a gift for friends and neighbors.
