i nice easy no bake idea. take oreo cookies and crumble them really fine with cream cheese. role them into small balls and dip in some melted chocolate. let chill and oh so good. you can get all sorts of colors for your chocolate.
I did a dinner party were I served up some twisted appetizers and it was fun. Guests loved the combinations and the fact that it was a fun twist on some classics. I made buffalo chicken and blue cheese fried won tons (think crab rangoons meet chicken wings), and bacon and scallop brushettas, spinach and artichoke stuffed tomatoes and things like that.
But, I would go with what is fun and simple to make for you. Christmas parties should be comfortable and fun for not just your guests but you too!
