Happy happy Tuesday!
Guess what?! ‘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, I’ve added some festive cocktails to compliment too!
Happy appetizer season, friends!

All of my holiday appetizers pair perfectly with my CHRISTMAS COCKTAILS! Make sure you check out these recipes too 🙂 .
Now on to nibbles…

Yes, I have made most of these also. My favorite is the Green Chile Cheese Ball and as always Smith’s Grilled Chicken and Onion Sliders. From a Mom of 2 sons, a bit of advice for the pinwheels, always make double batches of them. otherwise Mom might not get one. They are all Sooo GOOD!

GIVE ME ALL THE PEPPER JELLY RECIPES!!!
The pepper jelly and ham pinwheels are a hit!!!I have been making them for a few years and every family gathering or time we do apps im told to bring those. They are so easy my that 10 year old loves to assemble them.
Im going to try to pepper jelly and bacon dip next.

These all look amazing! Do you have a favorite brand of tortilla shells for pinwheels? Anything that don’t break/do well with being in the fridge? So excited for appetizer season!

I like buying the Mission “soft” ones. They bend and chill and hold up really, really well!
