Ideas for prep in advance/no prep christmas drinks party food

[BuryingAcorns]

Hi
We're having a drinks party - first one since pre-pandemic and I'm so out of touch and inspiration. Last one we had I spent the whole bloody time taking food out of the oven so this time I want it all laid out in advance and really don't want to spend all day prepping it either. But I do want it to be lovely and festive.

I can do some roast and pralined nuts, olives, a good cheeseboard with crackers and bread. Could do mince pies but I'm a bit sick of trad stuff and fancied something a bit different.

There'll be about 20-30 people, so I'm looking at finger food not bowls.

Does anyone have any easy recipes that go dfown well or suggestions on really good prepped food.

Root vegetable crisps e.g. Kettle or Tyrrells
Sticky cocktails sausages
Smoked salmon rolls
Pate (shop bought) on bruschetta. This is a quick recipe if you want to make your own.

Quiche, sausage rolls,cheese puffs(essential at my family get.Dont forget nice cheeses, tomatoes and cucumber. It does depend on how middle class you are.
