This Saturday is my family’s annual Christmas party and I couldn’t be more excited!! It’s one of many parties Tyson and I will be attending this Christmas and it’s just so much fun. This year is my family’s year to have us for Christmas so the party will be on Christmas Eve. Still wondering how Christmas got here so fast, by the way. Besides all of the awesome company, my favorite part about Christmas parties is all the food. Some of my favorite dishes come out at these get-togethers and it makes my tummy so so happy. For the last few years my family has had a party with h’ordeuvres and treats. I love that idea and being able to just munch and play games all evening. We leave Christmas day for the big dinner, which is always perfect whether we’re with my family or Tyson’s. I love Christmas!
Here is a peak at some of the goodies that will be present at Saturday night’s party. I’m so excited to play games, grub, and visit with my family! If you’re still trying to figure out another idea or two for your Christmas party, I hope these can be somewhat of an inspiration for you!
My friend Erica makes the BEST seven layer dip. This isn’t her exact recipe, but it’s pretty darn close! Instead of mashing two avocados, we just buy the avocado/guacamole spread. It makes things much easier!
My little sister Amy makes these for our Christmas party every year. Instead of the dill pickle we usually use pineapple chunks. We roll up the ham with the cream cheese spread on it and cut them into bite-size chunks. Then the toothpick goes into a chunk of pineapple then into a prepared roll of ham. So the pineapple and ham are skewered together with the pineapple on top. Easy peasy! The dill pickle is really good too so you really can’t go wrong with either. Unless you don’t like one or the other, then you can probably go wrong.
These meatballs are easily my family’s favorite at these parties. This is a recipe that my husband introduced them all to and he’s very proud of that.
Chex Muddy Buddies are one of my guilty pleasures. I LOVE these things! Such a classic party treat.
I love the smell of Cinnamon Roasted Almonds as I’m running through the mall at Christmas time. Or, in yesterday’s case at the Fashion Place Mall in Murray, UT, pushing my way through the mall. I love going up and getting a free sample of these almonds. They’re so good! That’s probably the only thing worth going to the mall for at Christmas time. But if you don’t feel like battling the mall for a bag of almonds, why not try making them at home!
And it wouldn’t be a Christmas party without Mom’s Fantasy Fudge!
