Need some Holiday Party Recipe ideas? Let’s see what’s in my archives to help you! I have ideas for holiday appetizers, side dishes, soups, bevies, and desserts. I am seriously lacking in the main dish department. In my family, we have beef tenderloin or lobster for our main dish at our Christmas party. We add Truffle Fettuccine and a Simple Caesar Salad. My Mom always made Rocky Road and her Sour Cream Coffee Cake. One of my favorite kinds of parties is a SOUP PARTY. Serve a few soups with garlic bread and a salad and everyone who has been stuffing themselves for the past month is thankful to have something light yet hearty for dinner.
Let’s see what we have here…
Brazilian Cheese Bread
Epic Cheeseboard with Trader Joe’s Items!
All you ever needed and wanted on one tray! Plus, in this post, I share all of my favorite cheese board items from Trader Joe’s.
Roasted Rosemary Almonds
A great addition to a cheeseboard.
TURKEY CRANBERRY MEATBALLS
When I was a kid, there were always meatballs at my parent’s friend’s get-togethers. I loved it. It’s gotta be the fact that you can eat something off of a toothpick. That makes things special, right?
Herbed Goat Cheese
This is such a great recipe for the holidays. People love HERBS and CHEESE and when you combine them with crostini, all bets are off!
Bacon Artichoke Dip
How about a hot dip? One with cheese, bacon, and artichokes? Sign me up!
Vegan Ranch Dip
If you have a guest with dietary restrictions, hook them up with a vegan ranch dip and veggies.
Have you ever had a soup party? They’re the best! Here are some of my recommendations if you’re going to go the soup route!
Sausage White Bean Soup
This with my garlic bread on repeat!
French Onion Soup
A showstopper for sure. LOOK AT THAT CHEESE.
Curry Zucchini Soup
My Mom made this every year for our Christmas Eve dinner. It’s a family favorite!
Minestrone Soup
This, parmesan and crusty bread? Yes, please.
Creamy Mushroom Sausage Orecchiette
This isn’t a soup, I know BUT OH MY GOD THIS WOULD BE AMAZING FOR YOUR PARTY.
Gluten-Free Ginger Molasses Cookies
A FAAAAAAAAVE.
Gingerbread Cookies
Have a people over and decorate together!
Salted Rocky Road
My mom made this every year (but with cashews!). It’s a nice thing to put out during coffee time!
Cinnamon Raisin Bread Pudding
Mom’s Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Affogato Speciale
A nightcap turned dessert!
Non-Alcoholic Drink Recipes
A whole lineup of drinks if you’re spirit-free!

A great way to use up the cranberries you may have lying around after Thanksgiving 😉

Make a batch of this and make espresso martinis!
Bourbon Sage Cooler
Because sage syrup is a great addition to your holiday bar.

‘Tis the season!!!

Something for the kids if you take out the bourbon and something to make your old relatives tolerable if you feel like adding bourbon.
