Christmas Party Food for Kids

cheap party favors The focus for these parties is the activity and Christmas parties in general focus on "sweet" treats. So my suggestion is to have appetizers or finger foods. Here are some simple kid's favorites. Meatballs in barbecue sauce, mozzarella sticks with sauce, chicken nuggets with dipping sauces, fresh fruit, French bread topped with garlic and herb cream cheese, Pizza Bites – slice French bread, top with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and desired toppings, bake until crispy and cheese is melted. Spiral rollups – spread cream cheese on one side of a tortilla, layer deli meat, cheese and vegetables that you like then start at one side and roll up tightly. Slice to form spiral circles. Besides regular Chex mix here are two simple snack mix recipes.
