Some like it hot:

A variety of hot appetizers are a must at a cocktail party. Serve in rounds throughout the evening. Start the first wave when your guests have arrived and wait an hour before serving the next.

Set the scene:

A modern take on the holiday colour scheme, pistachio is fresh and contemporary. Going monochromatic keeps things simple - just accent with silver holiday decorations for some festive sparkle.

Sweet endings:

Don’t forget to add some festive sweet treats into the mix. Put them out toward the end of the evening to signal the party is coming to a close.

Party trick:

Enlist your guests to help serve appetizers and refill drinks. It’ll get people mingling and take the pressure off you.
