Jenna, you have a wonderful collection of recipes to help us celebrate the Christmas season. I especially love the cookie tree, charcuterie wreath, and pimento cheese wreath. I adore pimento cheese! Thanks for sharing! We always enjoy finger foods for our Christmas dinner at my In-laws. My mother in law makes drip beef and pairs it with various appetizers. It is always a nice change from all the heavy holiday dishes. I may just have to bring your pimento cheese wreath. Happy Sunday!
Thank you Shannon, the pimiento cheese wreath is a favorite of mine, it’s so good and looks so pretty. We do finger food for Christmas day also, makes it easier and more relaxing than a formal dinner. I hope your holidays are the merriest!
That is a beautiful Christmas tree! I have to find time to make some of these festive treats. I love all those trees, especially the pea tree and puff pastry tree. Like Bernadette, when do you sleep Jenna! December will be an especially delicious month at your house:)
Thank you Emily, this is a round up of some favorites over the years. The snow pea tree is easy to make and you could stuff the peas ahead of time and refrigerate overnight and assemble the tree the next day. I’m going to do that for a party I’m having on Sunday
These are all terrific but I’m loving the appetizer wreaths especially. (There’s something about a wreath!) And the Christmas tree — what a great idea! I don’t do that for Rick and me and this is a great reminder that we can now have friends over! I must give one of these ideas a try.
What a delicious round-up of holiday treats you have here! The puff pastry tree and pimiento cheese wreath both look amazing. I have to pin these… Thanks for sharing and I hope all is well with you down there!
Really creative! You’ve got some delicious looking ideas for the holidays. The spaghetti bundt is so interesting and the puff pastry tree makes a great presentation. So fun for the holidays.

Does it make me a bad person that I like the snowy cookie tree best? ;P These all look like great recipes to make for our celebrations this season.
Not at all! And no baking involved!! Thanks Ricki

What great variations on the tree and wreath. I think I would just insist that my diners stood back and admired them before digging in!😂
Haha, yes you hope they are appreciated before the shape is compromised 😂
The spinach dip and snow pea trees look yummy! On my way to get those recipes!
Thanks so much Dee!
