Help! Christmas food from the fridge (teenagers)

Ds1 (20) and ds2’s girlfriend (18) arrive for Christmas tomorrow. I’m working tomorrow and Christmas Eve so not loads of time to prep food (and I don’t enjoy cooking). Any ideas for food I can put in the fridge that they can just plate up themselves when they arrive home and over the Christmas period? My sons are both working on Christmas Day and we’re out to lunch with my partners parents so ds2’s girlfriend will be here alone most of that day and I want to make sure there is plenty of easy to grab but still Christmassy food they can all just help themselves to. I have got as far as cold chicken and potato salad.

I do have a slow cooker and some time free today but they’re all generally more inclined to open the fridge in search of food.

Thank you!

You could make a soup in the slow cooker and put a big container of it in the fridge for them to help themselves to. Get some nice crusty bread in too.

Cheese and biscuits
Gammon joint either from a recipe of supermarket done one if short on time
smoked salmon and pre-made blinis with a tub of soured cream
Cocktail sausages/sausage rolls
pre-made party food either fresh/frozen
Get some bread so they can do sandwiches with the ingredients too if they fancy.
A quiche
