I did a:
-fruit platter[cherries and mandarins are traditional]
-vegetable platter[green/red peppers sliced-seasonal]
-meat platter[must have turkey]
-sandwich platter
-dessert platter[sugar cookies, gingerbread men or white sugared balls]
and assorted salads
a few hot dishes are nice too.
casseroles or mild meatballs in the crockpot[warming]
the club sandwich looks really nice
try:
first layer- lettuce
second layer-'turkey' and bacon
third layer- tomato and mayo
dont forget the super long 'obvious seeing' toothpicks
potato salad, pasta salad, chips, soda or make a sparkling non-alcoholic punch, fruit
chips dip pickle
Go For something flashy- since you have deli sandwiches, those are pretty understated. I suggest a very bright salad or side dishes. You can also get an assortment of individually wrapped gourmet chocolates (like Lindt) and use them as table decorations.
Go for a pasta salad with red, yellow, and green peppers. Just make pasta, add chopped veggies, olives, cheese and italian dressing. It's really pretty.
You can also do a pretty fruit assortment- especially citrus, a traditional Christmas fruit.
I'd go for a bright drink like pink lemonade, Cranberry Gingerale, etc.
Possibilities are endless. Just don't put out a bowl of chips and a plate of cookies. Boring!
Hummous or Taramasalata with crispy bread
Pasta salad, cole slaw, potato salad, fruits, veggies, baked beans
