Favourite Christmas party nibbles

[AirborneElephant]

I’m having a few people from a sports club I do over for lunch next week. Informal type thing, not a big roast. Completely stumped what to do for food. So what Christmas bits do you really love? I’m a pretty good cook, so happy to make things from scratch.

I think I’m doing profiteroles and spiced apple and salted caramel cupcakes for pudding as they’re easy to pick up, does that sound good?

Crudités and dips.
Vol u vents
Pizza
Hot Wedges
Cheese and pineapple.

Mince pies
Cheese board with biscuits and French bread
Slices of quiche
Sausage rolls

Those mini spring rolls with chilli dipping sauce.
Chicken satay skewers.
Toasted slices of baguette with goats cheese and onion chutney.
Samosas.
Sausage rolls.

My favourite Christmas party canapes would be: roast asparagus wrapped in prosciutto, dates with chorizo and manchego cheese, and salmon blinis. Also I love to snack on one of those boxes with the different shapes pretzels and crackers. Yum, I feeling peckish!

Prawn ring, cheese board with crackers and bread, mince pies

Dates with chorizo and cheese? Sounds interesting , are you wrapping the dates and cheese with chorizo slices like devils on horseback or just serving together? Hot or cold?

Roasted kale!

I’d be raiding M&S party food.

Loads of pigs in blankets
Sausage rolls
Mini Yorkshire puddings filled with a piece of roast beef and horseradish
Smoked salmon blinis
Mini jacket potatoes with sour cream
Prawn toast
Breaded prawns with a sweet chilli dip
Samosas

That is very tempting 🤣

My version is probably quite basic but tastes delicious. I just buy the largest dates I can find, cut them open and pop in a small piece of cheese and a little slice of chorizo that has been fried so it's a little crispy. Jamie Oliver does a version as a mini skewer. Or wrapped in bacon would be tasty and also look nice.
