Whether you’re hosting a huge dinner party or a impromptu casual gathering, appetizers are a must for every Christmas party. The last thing you want is a bunch of hungry guests getting impatient as they wait for the main course. The key is to set out a variety of palate-pleasing apps so that everyone can find something they enjoy. I recommend putting out at least one vegetarian appetizer for your vegan friends and family, like #4 on our list is perfect for them. Let’s check out these delicious red and green appetizers, shall we?

On a tight budget? Here’s a tip: choose appetizers that share ingredients (but are still different enough to appeal to a variety of taste buds). For example, use leftover brie from #14 in your cheese and crackers plate, or the extra veggies from #4 to put together your salad skewers. You’ll save time and money that way!
