One more round of holiday hosting? I’ve got the appetizers 🎉


Hi Reader,

Looking for some easy, delicious appetizers to make your holiday and New Year’s gatherings extra cozy? You’re in the right place!

I’ve rounded up 6 easy, well-loved appetizers that feel festive but are completely no-fuss. You can prep these without stress, serve with confidence, and actually enjoy your own party!

Here’s what’s on the menu:

🧀 Baked Brie with Fig Jam

Warm, gooey, and always the first thing to disappear. Serve it straight from the oven with crackers or bread and call it a win.

🍒 Cranberry Brie Puff Pastry Bites

Flaky, buttery, and perfectly bite-sized. These are made for holiday tables and New Year’s parties!

🍅 Caprese Skewers

Fresh, colorful, and so easy to assemble. A great balance to all the rich, cozy food this time of year.

🎃 Pumpkin Cranberry Crackers

Crisp, lightly spiced, and wonderful with cheese. These feel special without being complicated.

🌰 Pumpkin Pie Spiced Almonds

Toasty, crunchy, and warmly spiced. Perfect for setting out bowls or gifting in little jars.

🌿Cheese Crackers With Carom Seeds

Savory, addictive, and a lovely change from store-bought snacks. These pair beautifully with dips and cheese boards.

🎉 Bonus - If you are in the mood to make a little cheese board, I have all the tips and tricks for you here.

✨ Here’s to relaxed hosting, good food, and squeezing in a little more celebration before the year ends.

If you try any of these, I’d love to know which one made it to your table. And if you have a minute, leaving a rating or comment on the blog truly helps more people find these recipes. ❤️ ❤️
