Holiday Party Food and Drink Ideas Featured

09 Dec

With the holidays comes tons of parties and entertaining. If you are throwing your own party, you want to make sure that you have a variety of snacks and drinks to offer your guests. This might also mean dinner- depending on the time of your party. From the bestir appetizers to drink ideas, here are some of our favorites that we think would make a great addition to your next party.

 

1. Spiced nuts: Nuts are a great snack that are also filling. They contain protein and healthy fats and are also heart-healthy. For a party, we like to mix up the traditional salted nuts by adding flavors like cinnamon, cloves, paprika, and more. We discovered a few on EatingWell that sound delicious or you can opt to buy your own like these spiced pecans from The Loveless Cafe.

2. Dips: Veggie dips are also a fun addition to any party. We love hummus, bean dips, and olive dips. You can serve them with cut-up veggies, crackers, and pita bread.

3. Signature cocktail: Let's face it, most of your guests will be at the party, to well, party. Make sure you make this special by offering a variety of drinks like wine, champagne, and beer. Another option is to have a signature cocktail that can make this experience even more memorable. For inspiration, be sure to check out the 10 Tasty Holiday Cocktails over on Real Simple.

4. Light Bites: After the drinking and mixing and mingling, we are sure that your guests are going to start to get hungry. One thing to serve is a heartier appetizer like light bites of spinach and cheese, cheese platters, mini burgers, and more that are sure to put a smile on your guests faces.

5. Dessert: Don't forget the sweets for your party! This is generally what many guests bring but it is always a good idea to have some sweet treats ready. We love platters of festive holiday cookies, a pie and or a cake. Having some coffee, tea, and after-dinner drinks are also a great idea.
