Food for Boxing Day play date

Hello

I have signed myself up to hosting a Boxing Day play date (also hosting Christmas dinner, plus Christmas brunch for some relatives passing through the area - so no idea what I was thinking suggesting this!).

Do you have any suggestions for food / snacks to put out for this - I have made it clear that they aren’t coming for a rerun of Christmas Day, but will obviously need to provide some sort of sustenance.

There will be Four adults and four children (age 3-6). I had been thinking some sort of cheeseboard / crackers. I also have the challenge of storing everything in my fairly small fridge / freezer on top of Christmas day’s food as our local supermarket is closed on Boxing Day.

Cook extra pigs in blanket and Turkey on Xmas day and offer that. Pineapple and cheese on sticks always goes down well. Some frozen pizzas too

Most young kids wouldn't appreciate a cheese board , as others have said pizza .
It will make a welcome change from the day before , or just a pasta dish and salad bits .

Thank you - frozen pizza is a good idea to have along with the cheeseboard if I can find any decent tasting ones. Bar my youngest, the rest of the kids would definitely eat (demolish) a cheeseboard as long as it’s not too stinky.

I won’t be doing any proper sit down food as Boxing Day is usually our only day to chill out, so want as little clean up as possible😅
