This year, it feels as though there’s one holiday party or event after another. It’s all such fun. But with busy schedules, I know that throwing…and even attending, holiday parties can bring on added stress. Maybe you’re in need of a great hostess gift (recommending the cookbook and candle), or you’re stressed about creating a perfect menu. I get it, it can be a lot, so I want to help you where I can!
This time of year is always so special. It was my mom who mentioned that you all might be in need of some easy appetizers and drinks to make!
She knows just how hard hosting can be. Every Christmas Eve, my mom used to host my dad’s side of the family for the largest Christmas Eve dinner. She’d prep for the party the week before Christmas Eve, secure the perfect gifts for Christmas morning, and prepare her monkey bread after everyone left on Christmas Eve so it could be ready to go first thing Christmas morning.
She said the one thing she was always searching for each year were appetizers and drinks to start the night! Today, I’m taking the time to look back at all the holiday recipes in the hope that you’ll find just what you are looking for!
My first tip – begin by lighting a candle, putting on the perfect holiday playlist, and start planning your menus for your next party. Sounds like a great cozy night! Oh, even better if you have your holiday lights on and a fire going!
