‘Tis the season for my annual HOLIDAY APPETIZERS post!
Every year, I share my favorite appetizer recipes because friends, WE EAT THEM ALL HOLIDAY SEASON LONG!
I love an appetizer all year long, but come Christmas time, give me all the cream cheese dips, little bites, savory snacks and nibbles. I want them as my main, before my main, I could probably even eat them for dessert too.
My family eats appetizers every year on Christmas Eve (a tradition borrowed from Andrew’s side of the fam), so it’s the grand finale of our season too. We gather together and everyone brings their favorite appetizers, we have festive sips, crank up the carols and celebrate Christmas Eve.
Per usual, I have put all of my favorite appetizers in one convenient post just in time for your holiday season! I’ve added to this post from years past (to give you one big post!), plus this year, I added some festive cocktails to compliment too!
Happy appetizer season, friends!
All of my holiday appetizers are great with my Vixen’s Cranberry Vodka Cocktail! We actually make this one all year long!
You can see what’s on my typical charcuterie board HERE.
The Killarney Cocktail is a festive way to celebrate this season!
Grilled Chicken & Onion Sliders
Grown Up Hot Chocolate is perfect with savory or sweet appetizers this holiday season!
Mmmmmm! Our Merry Cherry Mules go perfectly with dips. Or dinners. Or your favorite holiday movie!
Pecan, Cranberry & Goat Cheese Bacon Wrapped Jalapenos
Sausage, Jack & Green Chile Balls
Slow Cooker Cheesy Spinach Dip
Candied Jalapeno Bacon Pimento Cheese Dip
Happy Wednesday!! I hope you all have a very merry season with an appetizer or festive cocktail!! xx

This is perfect timing!! Having my girlfriends over on Monday night and I was looking for a festive cocktail recipe. Definitely going to make one of these! And lets be honest, probably adding some of these apps to my menu too =)
