Quick and Easy Christmas Party Appetizer Recipes

These Christmas appetizers are easy to make, delicious, and perfect for feeding a crowd! There's something for every age, every palette, and every cooking skill level! And of course, plenty of cute Christmas tree recipes!

Easy Christmas Appetizers

One of the best parts about Christmas parties (other than the Christmas party games of course) is that you typically don't have to serve a full meal. Unless you want to host a Christmas morning party that is and then it's just breakfast!

It does mean however that you always need to have some good Christmas party appetizer recipes on hand. Whether you're hosting or asked to bring an appetizer to the next holiday party, I've put together 30+ simple Christmas appetizers that are as delicious as they are easy to make!

I've broken these into various categories depending on what kind of Christmas appetizers you're looking for but don't worry, there are appetizer recipes for everyone and every occasion.

And they're all holiday themed in some way – no buffalo chicken potato skins here (as good as those are!). They either have holiday shapes, flavors, or colors! Perfect for any Christmas party themes!

Hot Party Appetizers

If you're anything like me, you like serving a combination of cold and warm finger foods. These are some of my favorite Christmas appetizer ideas that are best served warm! Perfect for serving at a 12 days of Christmas party!

And take it from me, use these Christmas party ideas to make cooking and serving these warm appetizers even easier!
