Holiday Hors D'Oeuvre Party
Another name for a Holiday Hors D'Oeuvre Party is Cocktail Party.
You know, the parties where there are lots of tiny bites and drinks? You don't really have to sit down with a plate? Lots of mingling, eating and sipping?
It's my favorite kind of party because it offers a variety of treats -- one to two bites each, of incredible flavors, that will keep my guests coming back for more.
That's exactly what's going on with these super delicious and fun hors d'oeuvre party recipes.
From warm, tender olives and spicy, smoky deviled eggs, to juicy meatballs and refreshing granita filled strawberries -- there's something here for everyone!
It's so fun when everything is just a couple of bites. You can manage to hold a drink and a napkin in one hand, for starters. 😉

David @ Spiced
Cocktail parties full of small bites are one of my favorite things about the holidays! I'll start with a bowl of those warm olives and then move right into the champagne grapes. Those grapes are so cool! I've only found them on rare occasions around here, but when I do I grab a bag or two. Love this collection of appetizers! Merry Christmas, my friend!
