The holiday countdown has begun!
And that means holiday party planning is in full force. And what’s a good holiday party without some good holiday appetizers?
My favourite part of any holiday party or celebration is definitely the apps. There’s usually something cheesy, something crispy, and let’s not forget the cocktails! But with all the holiday cheer, these parties can sometimes feel a tad overwhelming. And let’s not forget those unplanned parties – when your friends, neighbours, or third cousin once removed call to say they are around the corner and would love to drop in for a visit. Lots of fun, but slightly stressful when you have to feed an army of people with little to no notice.
With all this in mind, we’ve come up with a solution. We are hosting a “Getting Prepped for The Holiday Season” Virtual Meal Prep party on Sunday, November 26th at 7:30 pm e.s.t. where we will be prepping and cooking a few of our favourite holiday appetizers and snacks so we can all be ready for the planned and unplanned holiday parties.
So grab everything you need to join us right here, pull up a chair and a glass of wine (or two!) and come get yourself holiday party ready! By the end you’ll have yourself a pretty darn good arsenal of delicious appetizers and snacks so when Uncle Bob drops by, you’re more than ready! Plus, we’ve got a fantastic giveaway from our friends at Canola Eat Well, valued at over $100. You definitely don’t want to miss this one! If you’re new to our kitchen parties, catch last months replay here to see what they are all about.
And to get you started today, we’re sharing some of our favourite How To Eat appetizers that are perfect for the holidays or any dinner party you may be throwing. So without further ado…
