Today’s edition of Friday Favorites is everything you need to host a Christmas shin-dig from holiday party recipes to beautiful serveware and everything in-between.
This weekend I am hosting friends for a small Christmas party in our new home. Nothing crazy, just a handful of heavy apps, yummy drinks and hopefully a lot of laughs! Here are some of the recipes I am using for inspiration this weekend.

Cocktail Party Serveware I Love
In addition to recipes, you have to think about how you will display and serve the food to your guests. I plan on clearing a space on my counter top, throwing down a few festive napkins and possibly some greenery. Here are a few links to serveware I love… nothing too festive because I like to invest in pieces I can use all year long.

Round Marble Cheese Board – Such a cute piece for your cheese or charcuterie board. And it’s really affordable from Target!
Dual Beverage Dispensers – I love the idea of having dueling drink dispensers at a holiday party; one red sangria and one white!
Bamboo Tongs – I love my Pampered Chef Bamboo tongs! They are perfect for when guests are serving themselves!
Silverware Caddy – I have one very similar to this. Love the rustic look and the size. You can fit all silverware, napkins and disposable plates in it!
Beverage Tub – If it were up to my husband we would use a cooler but beverage tubs are much cuter, don’t you think?
