I love a good snack, especially during the Christmas season. There's something about sitting around the TV watching a movie and enjoying a few different savory snacks.

A lot of the snacks featured here on Walking on Sunshine are sweet...like my Reindeer Christmas Treats. However, when I'm preparing a snack for myself, I always reach for something savory. Or a little sweet and savory combination.

How many appetizers do I need for a Christmas Party?

One of the biggest questions for any host is how much food you need. Depending on the size of your group and level of hunger, you might want to adjust this ratio up or down.

Planning the perfect Christmas party can often feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to deciding on the food. If you're serving appetizers, one good rule of thumb is to figure on about three appetizers per person.

That may seem like a lot, but allow for guests to possibly take seconds and thirds, or decide to skip a main dish altogether. It's also important to consider what kind of appetizers you'll be providing so that you have a variety that appeals to all types of tastes - something savory and salty, something sweet, and something cheesy!

With some careful planning and adjustments as needed, your party is sure to be festive and merry with plenty of delicious appetizers for all!

Quick Easy Sweet Snacks

For a sweet yet savory snack, try baking up a batch of Christmas cookies like Gingerbread Cookie Recipe or Classic shortbread cookies. Not only do these look incredibly festive but they’re also incredibly tasty when drizzled with icing or sprinkled with edible glitter!

Fruit skewers also make a quick, easy sweet snack that's festive and delicious all at once! Thread cubes of pineapple, strawberries and kiwi onto skewers then drizzle them with melted chocolate or dip them in a creamy strawberry fruit dip for an extra burst of flavor.

New Year Eve Snacks and Appetizers

A classic starter that everyone loves for the holidays and even New Year Eve Snacks is a cheese ball. This easy-to-make appetizer requires only a few ingredients and can be customized with any number of additions like herbs, nuts or spices.

The next savory snack option is the ever-popular charcuterie board. Create a board full of an assortment of meats, cheeses, crackers, breads, fruits and other accompaniments for your guests to enjoy as they mingle at the party.

Add cured meats like salami or prosciutto as well as soft cheeses like Brie or cheddar plus some crunchy crackers or breadsticks on the side. You can also include some pickles, olives and jams if you wish!
