Christmas Party Ideas For Food, Recipes and Menu Ideas

After posting some behind-the-scenes about our annual Christmas Party, I had several requests for the menu, recipes, and Christmas Party Ideas for food that was served. So here are my Christmas Parties Food recipes.

Some of the recipes I’ve shared in the past, and some are new for this year.

I will share the whole menu and recipes with you today.

What Are Christmas Parties Food?

Each year we host an annual Christmas party. We usually host the second weekend of December, and it kicks off the holiday season with good food and good friends.

The Christmas Parties’ food is kept to small plate appetizers and desserts. Most are finger foods that are easy to pick up and consume while standing.

I shared a recent post, 15 Tips To Host A Christmas Party, and shared how I keep a record of the menu and recipes from year to year.

Christmas Party Ideas for Food

Each year I record all the food served and what was popular so I can remember to serve it again.

I also keep a list of people invited and those that attended.

This is such a time saver when I plan the next gathering.
