One of the best parts about coming home for the holidays is finally taking a break from rez food and eating toast for dinner and indulging in the best home-cooked meals! But whether its a potluck with friends or a family dinner, sometimes you do want to show-off a little and chef to impress. That’s where CFS comes in! We’ve compiled a list of drool-worthy holiday appetizers so you are not scrambling to figure out your next meal. Whether you are looking for a classic holiday staple or want something more creative, you are in the right place.
1. Spinach and Artichoke Dip
You literally can never go wrong with some good ol fashioned dip! This hearty and rich baked spinach and artichoke dip is perfect for the holidays and a great complement to any dinner table. It’s piping hot and extra cheesy making it a huge hit in the winter months – whether you treat it as a snack or a meal. Best part? You can definitely prepare this one ahead of time and pop it in the oven right before you leave – perfect if you hate last-minute fussing around.
2. Cranberry Baked Brie
Mmm mmm mmmm! Brie is something I enjoy all-year round but will never get tired of! Elevate your grocery store brie by baking it with some cranberry filling and making it the perfect blend of sweet and savoury. It’s so quick and easy but your dish is guaranteed to be the wiped clean by the end of the night!
3. Pigs in a Blanket
Pigs in a blanket was a snack food that I grew up eating so it always brings a sense of nostalgia with each bite. Upgrade this childhood finger food this holiday season by making homemade pigs in a blanket and plating it as a Christmas wreath! Not only is it totally festive, it’s a huge crowd pleaser and an excellent dish to bring to a party to serve for Christmas dinner.

This recipe for bruschetta with tomato and basil is a great way to add a little freshness to your holiday table. Even better, it’s an amazing compliment for all the cheesy appetizers on the table and the guests will definitely be coming back for more!
5. Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits
The holiday season is the time to indulge and nothing says indulgence like a delicious biscuit! We absolutely love these cornmeal cheddar biscuits which find the perfect balance of being flakey, buttery and cheesy. While they taste like you spend hours slaving away, the actual receipt only takes 30 minutes – perfect for a time crunch! PS. you’re definitely going to want to make extra for yourself because they make for the best breakfast food too!
