Ranch Pretzel Bites: Take your favorite sourdough pretzels and bake them in a tangy ranch coating for this delicious crowd-pleaser. Pretzel bites are a party staple any day of the year, but the seasoning makes these a special occasion all their own. (via Sweet Cayenne)

Christmas Tree Pull-Apart Bread With Marinara Dipping Sauce: This pull-apart bread is savory, not sweet — each little ball of dough is stuffed with cheese. It’s like biting into little heavenly pillows of doughy goodness. (via Eclectic Everyday)

Snowman Cheese Ball: Instead of a corn-cob pipe and a button nose, this snowman has a carrot nose and peppercorn buttons! He'll pairs well with your favorite crackers or chips. (via Number 2 Pencil)

Mac + Cheese Donuts: Nothing helps warm you up in wintry weather like comfort food, especially cheesy macaroni. For party season, put it in handheld form with our donut-shaped recipe. (via Brit + Co)

Reindeer Chow: Ever wonder what Santa feeds Rudolph? Look no further than this festive take on "muddy buddies." (via Averie Cooks)

Toasted Ravioli: Crispy and crunchy on the outside and meaty and tender on the inside, toasted ravioli is basically faux-fried food at its finest. (via Small Town Woman)

Shrimp Dip: A cheesy seafood favorite for parties, this dip is simple to make with just a few ingredients. Pair it with thick sourdough bread and enjoy! (via Food Lovin' Family)

Cheesy Vegan Mashed Potato Pancakes: THIS is how to repurpose leftover mashed potatoes for the party season. They go especially well with some sliced avocado or cashew cream. (via Connoisseurus Veg)

Smoked Trout Crostini: This one's so easy it almost cooks itself. Simply top baguette slices with store-bought smoked trout and your favorite herbed sour cream. (via Leite’s Culinaria)

Pomegranate Honey Ricotta Toast: So, toast may be a bit of an undertaking for party noshing, but your guests will be wowed by this sweetly delicate combination. It's cheesy, it's rich, it's fluffy — the end. (via Joyful Healthy Eats)

Baked Brie en Croute: Cheese is such a crowd-pleaser, and even better when the cheese is pungent melted Brie. (via Olivia’s Cuisine)

Bacon & Cheese Potato Croquettes: There’s something magical that happens when yummy mashed potato batter meets crispy bacon and sharp mature cheddar. Bet you’re salivating just thinking about it... (via Simply Delicious)
