Party Panache, Holiday Themed Party Food

Charcuterie boards, cheese balls and themed shaped appetizers

are a fun and festive way to serve party food

I’ve found some really creative ones to inspire your holiday entertaining

Last year I made a kid friendly Festive Appetizer Wreath

for our family party

It’s made with rosemary and parsley

and was filled with cheese cubes, cherry tomatoes, strawberries

salami roses and Parmesan toast

We also had “JOY” charcuterie letter trays

This year I’m thinking about making this candy cane shaped

Spinach & Artichoke Crescent Candy Cane

This is a charcuterie Gingerbread house is very different!

This Veggie Lodge has mushroom trees and artichoke bushes!

I think this Christmas Tree Cheese Ball surrounded by crackers is cute

I like that is presented on a pedestal

I love this Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer cheese ball

This veggie wreath is beautiful!

There are endless ways to make a charcuterie holiday tree

This one with a Brie star and rosemary limbs caught my eye

This pesto caprese crostini tree is very festive

You can use a styrofoam cone as a base for a vertical tree

Cover it with fresh spinach leaves,

and decorate it with strawberries

Grapes and cheese cubes surround the base

like presents under the tree

You can lay tortilla spirals out on a board to form a tree shape

or you can stack them for a vertical tree

These spirals are filled with pimiento cheese,

red peppers and green onions

These Gingerbread Man Quesadillas are adorable~

How about a pepperoni and cheese Santa?

Or even better, a cupcake Santa!

You could pair Santa with a Grinch board for dessert 🙂

This Hot Chocolate Charcuterie Board would be very popular at my house!

It would go nicely with a cupcake snowman

It’s time to get the parties started!

Merry Merry!

    Jenna, this a fabulous round-up for ideas for the holidays. Each photo provided inspiration. I love the photo of your grands and HHjr??

    Roll Tide, I can’t believe we won the game!

    • No, that’s his best friend, he and HHjr have been friends since they were 4 years old and he is like a second son to me. The kids all call him Uncle. He likes to dress up crazy and come to our family Christmas eve lunch. Yes, the game was a nail biter, we were screaming!!!

  4. This is so timely because of course there are always potlucks at this time of year and parties and fun to have something new and festive to bring!

    Oh my goodness Jenna! This is an absolute smorgasboard of tantalizing holiday treats. I don’t think I can even pick a favorite – they all look so good. The gingerbread house and the lodge are amazing and so is the grinch. That is a fabulous photo of the grands! I’m just going to pin the post so I can come back to it. Thanks for all these wonderful ideas.

    Great post with good collection of ideas. The tree charcuterie board is one of my favorites, but it mus be huge – there are entire apples in the bottom corner! The wreath is super nice, and the gingerbread house ones are some of my favorites.
