Christmas finger foods for parties

 

Christmas finger foods

With all of the Christmas vacations thrown in every yr, thinking of a brand new menu is a mission. Christmas finger foods at your Christmas party allow guests to mingle and indulge in food throughout the event. 

Finger ingredients are normally easier to prepare than a full meal. Many of the fingers can be prepared ahead of time, eliminating the need to coordinate cook times for all foods.

Shaped sandwiches

Sandwiches work well for a Christmas party because you can offer a variety of fillings. This gives all of your guests an option that they would like. Egg salad, chicken salad, cold meat, and cheese. If the kids attend the party, include peanut butter and jelly. The hummus sandwiches add a vegetarian option to the sandwich selection. To tie the sandwiches to the Christmas theme, use Christmas-shaped cookie cutters on them. Choose smaller cookie cutters so you can get two or three of each large sandwich. Smaller sandwiches are also easier to eat and keep as finger food.

 Kabobs

Kabobs work well as party food because you can customize them with just about any type of food you want. Guests easily grab the kabobs when they are hungry. The foods that work best in kabobs are soft enough to slide onto a kabob stick. Long plastic toothpicks or bamboo skewers cut into shorter lengths work well as sticks. Traditional Christmas meats like ham and turkey work well on kabobs. Cut them into small pieces and alternate them with cheese, vegetables, and pieces of bread. Try including a mixture of red and green vegetables for a Christmas look. Cherry tomatoes, lettuce, and red and green bell peppers work well. Fruit Kabobs offers an option for dessert. 

 


Silly faces

Skate wheel appetizers offer another customizable finger option for the Christmas party. Wheels are made by covering an omelet with cream cheese-based mixtures filled with different vegetables and foods. The tortilla is rolled up and cut into 1/2-inch slices. Add accents to the cream cheese combination in crimson and green for a Christmas look. For the basic cream cheese, mix two 8 oz. Blocks with a packet of dry ranch dressing. Add items such as chopped red bell peppers, green bell peppers, green olives, and green onions to add flavor and color. You can customize the recipe by adding any additional ingredients to make the filling. 

 


Gourmet pizzas

Homemade pizzas in different flavors work well as a Christmas finger food option. Choose red and green toppings such as green onions, green olives, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions for your pizzas. Mix and match sauces like regular pizza sauce, Alfredo sauce, and pesto sauce. Mozzarella and feta cheese works well on pizzas. Cut them into strips or Christmas shapes to make them easier for guests to hold. 

 


Spiced nuts and pretzels

Spiced nuts and chocolate-covered pretzels make a tight dessert option. Many candy stores sell specialty nuts around the holidays. Look to your local mall for a spiced pecan kiosk if you can't find a candy store. Chocolate-covered pretzels are available in candy stores too. They are also easy to make at home if you prefer. Use the almond crust to dip the pretzels. It comes in both chocolate and vanilla. The almond bark melts in the microwave and gets faster as it dries.

CROSTINI WITH BRIE CHEESE AND FIG AND WALNUT JAM

The 'crostini' are toasts -which we make this time with rye bread- baked in the oven and covered by ingredients of Mediterranean essence, as in this case: a fig jam on the base, some slices of 'brie' cheese, and other elements that Besides being decorative, they give us aroma and flavor: sprigs of fresh rosemary or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

 


TOAST OF ANCHOVIES WITH ORANGE

 

Go ahead and try this original combination of salted anchovies with orange and red onion. The mix will surprise you. As a base, we have used sliced ​​bread, but if you want it to be something more elegant, look for a loaf of rye bread or any other type of flour.

 


TUNA TARTLETS AND EMMENTAL CHEESE

 

Tartlets are always a very useful appetizer at these parties, because, if we want to make them at home, they can be filled with both sweet and salty. But if we buy them ready-made, we save a lot of time and allow us to invest it in the creativity of that same filling. In this case, we have thought of making it with a tuna loin that we marinated half an hour before, some pickles, and a Swiss AOP Emmental cheese.

 


CHEESEBOARD WITH NUT AND APRICOT CRACKERS

You are going to choose the cheeses, what we are going to teach you to cook are delicious salty crackers, with walnuts and a sweet apricot flavor, to accompany a good Camembert cheese, for example, since the creamy ones are the who is the best or, on the contrary, the strongest and most blue. Cookies are very simple to make, but we recommend that you leave them made in advance.



TRIO OF ASSORTED SNACKS

If you organize yourself well, even if there are three different recipes, you will see that you can make them at the same time, saving a lot of time. What will take you the longest is the baking time of two of them. They are small bites that can be served as canapés with a string that makes it possible to mix them and be accompanied by any mild sauce, such as homemade mayonnaise.



GARLIC AND WALNUT BREAD

A 'baguette' can be taken as is to the table, or done originally and warmly! This is what we do with this recipe, in which each slice of bread is spread with a mixture of garlic, butter, and nuts.



The best thing is that you have it prepared, but that the last heat stroke (just 10 minutes) is given just before taking it to the table. You will no longer want any other accompaniment.
