Sharing Our Most Popular Holiday Appetizers today to help you find the yummiest dishes to bring to family gatherings, Friendsgiving dinners, and all the festive parties this season. This list has everything from classics like Baked Brie Pastry and Goat Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates to the prettiest holiday cheeseboard and the most festive Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread.

It’s officially the season of entertaining! That means many of us are searching for the perfect holiday dishes to share with loved ones. Whether you’re hosting or simply bringing a dish to the next gathering, I’m so excited to highlight these tried-and-true appetizer recipes.

Over the years, these have become the recipes you all make again and again. The most popular? Definitely the bacon-wrapped dates or my cranberry baked brie—but so many of you are dip lovers too, and the goat cheese dip is a forever favorite.

It’s always so fun to see what you make!

This year, I have one holiday party after another. Thanksgiving tomorrow, and then next week the Christmas celebrations begin. Honestly, I can’t wait. It’s my favorite time of year for creating and sharing festive recipes. Before diving into all the new things coming your way, I wanted to take a moment to look back at the appetizers we already love.

I have two quick entertaining tips before we get into the recipes. If you’re hosting, set the mood right away. If you own a fireplace, light a fire. Put on a holiday playlist and arrange some fun twinkle lights around your house or apartment. Light a few candles – 30% off the HBH collection (except for the new Merry Mint Mocha). Then set out a few appetizers and a fun cocktail. And of course, I always leave a cheeseboard on the counter all night long. For more Tips and Tricks, check out Favorite #5 from last Sunday’s Nine Favorite Things.

And if you’re the guest—always offer to bring something, and don’t forget a little hostess gift. It can be as simple as a bottle of wine, homemade cookies, a candle, a pretty ornament (also 30% off right now), a brass or gold foiled matchbook (again 30% off right now), or a cookbook. A small, thoughtful gesture goes a long way during the most wonderful time of the year!
