Christmas Appetizers

When it comes to Christmas appetizers, our first priority is always flavor. From there, we look for recipes that are simple to prepare or can be made ahead of time (extra points if they check both boxes). That's the same approach we take with all of our holiday dishes, from festive main dishes to sweet Christmas desserts.
