While the elaborate feast isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, food can still be festive and comforting during Christmas with the help of small bites or canapes. Throw together sweet and savoury options that are enjoyable, easy to eat, seasonal and delicious.
Set down a big bowl of popcorn for guests to munch between cocktails or combine it with some cheese from the grazing board.
Go old-school nostalgic with these delicious, protein-forward meatballs tossed in a spicy-sweet glaze and served with toothpicks.
Add a touch of vintage with the help of a no-cook shrimp cocktail that is not only perfect to eat but also visually appealing when assembled.
Experiment with a variety of cheeses, peppers and be generous with the bacon bits before baking a full loaf of bread in the oven for a few minutes.
Creamy, mild in flavour and portable—devilled eggs are perfect when spruced up with some pickled jalapenos or red peppers.
Use the best quality dark chocolate and cocoa powder to make miniature truffles that are delicious when paired with an espresso martini.
Pick from pecans, almonds, cashews and walnuts to toss in melted brown sugar and cinnamon before air drying them on a baking tray and serving.
