Pigs In A Blanket Wreath

Your entire family and circle of friends will instantly become enamored with this charming holiday app. We think this is the best kind of centerpiece—one that is fit for a holiday table and that you can eat as well.
Upside-Down Mushroom Tartlets
Upside-Down Mushroom Tartlets recipe.
This easy-to-follow pastry trick, inspired by TikTok, turns store-bought puff pastry with your preferred sweet or savory filling into a gorgeous bite-sized treat. Our version, with a filling reminiscent of cream of mushroom soup, veers heavily toward the savory side.
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops recipe.
One of those meals that impresses guests but is actually quite simple to prepare (just five ingredients!) is bacon-wrapped scallops. Use large sea scallops and thinly sliced regular bacon for optimal results, but feel free to substitute your favorite herbs for the ones listed.
Cranberry Brie Biscuit Dip
Cranberry Brie Biscuit Dip recipe.
This dip is not only ideal for gatherings during the holidays, but it’s also a great way to utilize leftover homemade cranberry sauce! Canned food also works if none of those are available. Just make sure the canned cranberry sauce you use is whole berry and not jellied.
Crab Egg Rolls
These two-bite morsels seamlessly blend the richness of a crab cake with the crunchy-chewy texture of your preferred carry-out side, creating a platter-worthy combination.
Smoked Salmon Dip
This smoked salmon dip is going to become your new favorite party dip, lox lovers.For the creamiest savory dip imaginable, combine smoked salmon, hot horseradish, bright lemon, and finely chopped dill into a base of cream cheese and Greek yogurt.
Bacon Wrapped Dates
It’s time to get acquainted with dates if you aren’t already! The crisp, salty bacon and creamy goat cheese are perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the dates. Before the party has officially begun, we can assure you that these will disappear off the platter.
Baked Salmon Sushi Cups
Baked Salmon Sushi Cups recipe.
It can be intimidating to make sushi at home because you have to roll the sushi rice precisely and handle raw fish. You can avoid all that and still enjoy all the flavors of your favorite roll with these baked salmon sushi cups. These are quick to prepare and bake in mini muffin tins, so they’re ideal to serve as bite-sized appetizers at your next gathering.
Apple Cheddar Bundles
We’re not sure what will lift your spirits if the aroma of toasted puff pastry, roasted apples, and nutty cheddar cheese doesn’t. These appetizers are ideal for the holidays.
French Dip Squares
It turns out that the greatest party appetizer ever can be made without expensive ingredients. Because of the caramelized onions, these simple french dip squares have a ton of intricate flavors! PLUS there’s enough to satisfy a famished crowd. We’ll be making these again and again because they’re the ideal quick fix for a French dip sandwich.
Pesto Pizza Stuffed Star Bread
Pesto Pizza Stuffed Star Bread recipe.
This is a simple yet festive holiday appetizer that appears far more sophisticated and impressive than it is. While making your own pesto and pizza dough is fantastic, using store-bought ingredients still results in a very easy star bread.
Smoked Trout Spread
This festive appetizer is simple and festive, but it looks much more complicated and impressive than it is. It’s great to make your own pesto and pizza dough, but if you just use store-bought, this star bread comes together quickly.
