One of my favorite holiday guilty pleasures is having hors d’oeuvres with my family on Christmas Eve. This tradition has been in our family for almost 30 years and I can’t imagine anything better. During the evening hours, we stand around the kitchen island stuffing our mouths with food and laughing over stupid jokes. No formal, sit-down dinner. No expensive china. No awkward silences. Only fun.
We have a few hors d’oeuvres that I start looking forward to in October like Bacon and Tomato Cups and 7 Layer Taco Dip. Yum! Here is a full list of the hors d’oeuvres my family whips up for the holiday: Veggie Platter and Delicious Dip, Creamy Crab Dip, Homemade Pigs in a blanket, Slow Cooked Buffalo Wings, Swedish Meatballs, Best Ever Spinach Dip, Classic Cheese Ball, Veggie Pizza, and Shrimp Cocktail. My favorite is Sausage and Cheddar on Rye. The spicy sausage has just enough kick to make you want more. Mix in the cheddar and you have a rich and creamy blend of perfectness. Mini rye bread squares complete the delicious Christmas package.
Hors d’oeuvres on Christmas Eve are definitely one of my guilty pleasures! Can’t wait to enjoy them!
