Whether it’s sweet or savory, adding a fun appetizer for your Christmas dinner is a great way to keep the hangry away before the meal is done, but also a fun way to add some new traditions to your holiday. This list of Christmas Appetizers for Kids is sure to have something that you will want to try out, and add to your yearly holiday meal rotation.
I might be weird, but I love planning out my Christmas dinner. I look forward to the big family meal, having extended family gathered around, and celebrating the season with delicious food. One thing that I love doing is adding some fun holiday appetizers to my plan. This gives us something to snack on in case the turkey takes longer than expected and adds a little more holiday fun to the celebration. We have a few that we love and eat every year, but I also love adding a new appetizer or two each year. This list is perfect if you’d like to add an appetizer or two to your Christmas celebration!
Why Make Holiday Themed Appetizers
I love adding holiday specific appetizers to my holiday meal plans for so many reasons. One big one is that these delicious appetizers become family traditions. My kids look forward to the strawberry santa hats and Christmas tree charcuterie board all year. Only having them one time a year adds something so special to the holiday dinner. I also love that so many of these appetizers are simple enough that my kids are in the kitchen with me making them. We love having that extra family together time during the holidays.
