I may not be Martha Stewart, but when it’s time for a holiday gathering, I’m fully committed to impressing the crowd. Unfortunately, my culinary skills aren’t advanced enough to whip up anything too elaborate. So, when faced with the inevitable question, “What are you bringing to the holiday party?” I know I need to get creative. Finding a dish that checks all my boxes can be challenging—I want something festive and delicious, elevated yet low-effort, group-friendly, and stress-free to transport. If you’re also on the hunt for a recipe that does it all, I’ve rounded up 35 appetizer recipes that are perfect for a holiday party.

These holiday appetizer recipes are simple enough to avoid any The Bear-style kitchen chaos, use seasonal ingredients to feel festive, are easy to portion for a crowd, and, most importantly, taste incredible. Plus, they’re sturdy enough to survive the trip to the party (no precarious layers or spill-prone dishes here).
