43 Christmas Appetizers Ideas
Christmas is a time for family, friends, and food. And nothing brings people together like a good appetizer.
These Christmas appetizers are easy to prepare and will make a beautiful presentation,
so you can focus on the people you’re spending time with and not the food.
1. Cranberry Brie Bites
These two-bite brie and cranberry tarts are the perfect pre-dinner snack. Plus, they’re festive and easy to make.
Get the recipe from Delish.
2. Cranberry Meatballs
Cranberry and meatballs are a match made in heaven!
These meatballs get their flavor from a combination of a few things: cranberry sauce, chili sauce, and a bit of soy sauce.
The cranberry sauce is sweet and tangy, the chili sauce adds a little bit of heat, and the soy sauce adds a rich, salty flavor.
This is a great appetizer to make ahead of time. You can make the meatballs and sauce, then store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can also freeze the meatballs for up to 3 months.
3. Christmas Tree Pull-Apart Bread
A pull-apart bread is a staple for any holiday party.
It’s a great appetizer to get the party started, and it’s so easy to make. You can use store-bought dough, or make your own!
This Christmas tree pull-apart bread is flavored with garlic, rosemary, and a hint of white cheddar cheese.
The bread is super soft and fluffy, and the herb and cheese flavor is just delicious.
I love to serve this with a side of marinara sauce for dipping!
4. Baked Brie and Jam in a Bread Bowl
Baked Brie is a classic holiday appetizer, but we took it to the next level by baking it in a bread bowl and topping it with jam.
It’s a great way to keep your Brie warm and gooey, and the bread becomes the perfect vehicle for all of that cheesy goodness.
We used a raspberry jam, but you can use any flavor you like!
5. Cranberry Salsa
This cranberry salsa is one of my favorite Christmas appetizers. It’s the perfect combination of sweet and spicy, and it’s so easy to make!
The cranberries give it a beautiful pop of color that is so festive.
You need to make this salsa a day in advance, so be sure to plan ahead.
It’s great with tortilla chips, but you could also serve it over cream cheese and eat it with crackers.
6. Christmas Tree Cheese Platter
Pile your favorite cheeses, meats, and nuts on a platter and arrange them to look like a Christmas tree.
This appetizer is so easy to make and is sure to impress your guests.
7. Christmas Tree Veggie Tray
This veggie tray is a fun and festive way to serve your veggies this Christmas. You can use a variety of veggies for this tray.
We used broccoli, grape tomatoes, and snap peas. You could also use cucumbers, bell peppers, and cauliflower.
You can use a small star cookie cutter to cut the star out of the red pepper. You could also use a sharp knife to cut the star out.
This is a great appetizer to make ahead of time. Just cover the tray with plastic wrap and store in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
8. Cranberry and Feta Pinwheels
These pinwheels are a festive appetizer that everyone will love.
They’re made with a cream cheese, feta, and dried cranberry filling, and then rolled up in a flour tortilla.
After a few hours in the fridge, they’re sliced into bite-sized pieces and ready to serve.
I love the sweet and savory flavors in these pinwheels and the pop of color from the cranberries.
They’re also a great make-ahead option, so you can prepare them the day before your party and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
9. Cranberry and Brie Pastry Swirls
These are the perfect little bite-sized appetizers for your holiday party! Flaky puff pastry is filled with creamy brie cheese and sweet cranberry sauce,
then rolled up into a cute little swirl and baked until golden brown.
The brie cheese melts into the cranberry sauce and creates the most delicious filling! These are so easy to make and are always a hit at any party.
10. Christmas Deviled Eggs
If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to dress up your deviled eggs for the holidays,
try adding a little food coloring to the mix. You can also add a little hot sauce to give them a little kick.
Top with a little paprika and some fresh herbs, and you’ve got a simple and elegant appetizer that’s perfect for Christmas dinner.
