Holiday Party Menu Roundup

As I may have mentioned, I love the holidays and everything about them! It is so fun to get together with everyone during this time of year and celebrate! In the past, I have had very successful holiday parties. I decided not to have one this year because I have a lot of other things on my plate. However, I wanted to share my favorite holiday foods and quick and easy decorations for any of you that are planning on having one! 


Food

This year, I am making this Gingerbread Bundt Cake! I am going to make minis to give out to my family and friends, but a full size would be perfect for a party dessert!

These super easy Peppermint Patties

I am going to be making these cranberry brie bites for a work party. I tried them at a different function the other day and they are so good! I just had to share!

This reindeer fudge would be cute as a party treat or to wrap up to give to family and friends! 



Another thing that I always like to make for parties is stuffed mushrooms! They are a huge hit! Here is a great recipe I found for Bacon Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms- I will share my recipe for stuffed mushrooms later in a different post for you too!

Another thing that I really enjoy making for large parties are sandwich roll ups (or pinwheels).  These Christmas Tree Roll Ups would be perfect for a holiday party!

Aren't these chocolate bars wrapped like snowman the cutest? These would be so easy to do and give out as party favors! 



These adorable marshmallow snowman would be so cute to give out too! The only site I could find that shows how to make them was this one. Hopefully that helps!

Whether you are having a party or just going to one, some of these things are perfect for gift giving and/or bringing as side dish to a party you are going to! Whatever the case may be, have fun at all of your holiday get-togethers and a great holiday season!
