Holiday Entertaining Guide
The first thing you will need to think about is food. It’s always good have a variety of finger foods such as holiday cheese balls, sweet chicken-bacon wraps, spinach deviled eggs and other small party foods on hand. You can find plenty of these recipes on our own Chef Phil Blog. You might want to serve these on party platters with festive red and green colors. Another thing you may want to think about is investing in a residential chocolate fountain like this stainless steel model from Sephra fountains – a fun addition to any tabletop. A fondue fountain is only as good as the food you serve with it. Fruits, marshmallows, or graham crackers make for good dippers with your fountain. You’ll also need some Sephra fondue skewers for dipping your fruit, so make sure to stock up on plenty.
Never forget to have a great holiday dessert for your guests. Cupcakes are always a favorite among most party goers. Using a cupcake pan from Nordic Ware will help make this possible. After baking your cupcakes, use a frosting gun that comes with a variety of pastry tips to decorate your cupcakes. Another suggestion would be to make a holiday cake with a Nordic Ware Bundt® cake pan. Use a heart-shape pan to make a perfectly sculpted cake. After cooking, make sure to sprinkle powdered sugar, which will add to the festive look of the cake and also the taste.
If you plan on having your guests sit down to eat, make sure you decorate the dinner table accordingly. Give your table a more festive look with Kaydee’s “Merry Christmas” towels . This will add to your holiday decorations and bring more holiday cheer to your party.
While decorating, you may forget to throw yourself in the mix. In order to be a great holiday party host, you must look the part. That’s why we recommend an array of Christmas aprons from Kaydee that will make you look like the perfect little holiday homemaker.
For a formal approach, wine is always a good idea. Cardinal makes a 12 oz. wine glass that adds elegance to your dinner table. Picking a great wine like a Merlot or a specialty wine like the Duplin South Carolina Christmas wine.
Now that you have a better understanding of how to prepare for your holiday party, it’s time to get to work so you can put on the best Christmas bash possible in your neighborhood.
