What are Christmas Finger Foods?

Christmas finger foods are small, bite-sized appetizers or snacks that are easy to eat without utensils, making them perfect for holiday parties and gatherings. They’re foods that are designed for easy sharing and can add a fun, informal touch to Christmas celebrations

How many holiday finger foods should you serve at a party?

  • For a holiday party, it’s a good idea to serve about 6 to 8 different types of finger foods if it’s a shorter gathering, like a cocktail party. 
  • For longer events or if the finger foods are the main offering, aim for around 10 to 12 different options. 
  • Plan for guests to eat around 6 to 8 pieces per person for shorter gatherings, and 12 to 15 pieces for longer events or more substantial meals. 
  • Variety is key!

Tips and Tricks for Making Finger Foods for a Christmas Party 

  • Plan Ahead! Choose recipes that can be made in advance to reduce stress on the day of your gathering. Many finger foods taste just as good, if not better, when prepared a day ahead. Just store them in airtight containers and refrigerate until serving.
  • Opt for easy-to-eat items that don’t require utensils. Foods like skewers, mini pastries, and bite-sized pieces are perfect.
  • Offer a range of flavors, including savory, sweet, and spicy options, to cater to different preferences and dietary restrictions.
  • Presentation Matters! Use festive platters, trays, and garnishes to elevate the look of your finger foods. Colorful fruits, fresh herbs and vegetables can add a pop of color.
  • Think seasonal! incorporate seasonal ingredients to enhance flavors and capture the essence of the holiday. Think cranberries, nuts, and winter greens.
  • Label everything!
