Melanie Burke ·
If you enjoy throwing a holiday party every now and then, you know how exciting the planning can be. But between creating a cocktail menu and dreaming up a stellar holiday dessert spread, you need to decide how you’re going to sate your guests’ hunger. Sure, you could go the easy route and order pizzas, but how much fun is that? The good news is that you can get creative without too much hassle. People love an assortment of appetizers, and these 18 snacks will get your wheels turning.
Cheesy Artichoke Dip: A party just isn’t a party without a melty and cheesy dip. This ooey-gooey mixture is packed with plump artichokes and topped with toasty breadcrumbs for a little extra indulgence. (via What’s Gaby Cooking)
Vegetable Pinwheels: You can make these cream cheese and veggie pinwheels with any filling you prefer, giving you a ton of variety when it comes to snacking preferences. Try them with different types of wraps for even more combinations! (via Food Lovin' Family)
Curry Hummus: Why have run-of-the-mill hummus when you can have curry hummus? This recipe is easy to follow, even if you've never made your own hummus before. (via Pinch of Yum)
Vegan Smoked “Salmon” Cheese Rolls: If you love the elegance of sushi but don't want to leave fish out all night, this recipe may be for you. You'll never guess what the vegan "salmon" is made from. (via Full of Plants)
Easy Cheesy Jalapeño Poppers: These flaky, cheesy, and spicy poppers are the go-to app when you want big flavor but are short on time. (via The Blond Cook)

Red Cooking Wine Caramelized Onion Baked Brie: Baked brie is not only a fan-favorite, but it's quick to throw in the oven while you're working on your other appetizers. This recipe uses caramelized onions and a little wine to bring out the flavors. (via Greens & Chocolate)
Mexican Shrimp Cocktail: Shrimp cocktail is always a hit — especially when you serve it in a fancy glass! These shrimp are served with a zesty cocktail sauce and to add that Mexican flair, they’re topped with a refreshing tomato and avocado relish. (via Dinner at the Zoo)
Vegan Walnut, Sage, and Cranberry Stuffed Holiday Mushrooms: Mushrooms were meant to be stuffed — and when you pop one of these tasty morsels into your mouth, you’ll agree. The nutty, herbaceous, and slightly sweet filling creates a palate pleaser that will WOW your friends. (via Blissful Basil)
Bacon-Wrapped Scallops With Cajun Cream Sauce: The bacon-wrapped scallop is kicked up with a creamy and dreamy Cajun sauce. (via Cooks With Cocktails)
