Holiday entertaining is made easy with these 15 festive appetizers that have just 5 ingredients or less!
The holiday season is in full swing, which means all month-long we’ll be toasting and hosting–a–plenty as we walk out of the room to adjust our waistbands to make more room for more. More. MORE!
In between decorating and shopping, we’ll be scurrying off to holiday dinners and parties of all sorts, as well as throwing our own. Since December brings such a flurry of activity, and our time is limited and precious, we’ve gathered up 15 simple but amazing holiday appetizer recipes using five ingredients or less.
Simple to make? Yes! Short on flavor? NO WAY!
From the usual suspects, like baked brie and crostini, to a made-over version of the nostalgic party fave—the cheeseball—these festive 5-ingredient appetizers are the perfect way to spread the cheer with the ones you love, and give you more time to mingle!
App It Easy With 5 Ingredients or Less
Isn’t it great to know there are plenty of time and ingredient-saving recipes out there amid the wonderful chaos of the season, especially if you’re the one who’s doing the hosting. Party on Rudolph!

I really wanted to send a small word to say thanks to you for the fantastic points you are writing on this site
Thank you for sharing everything looks so delicious. Now I have many ideas for my hostess party.
These look delicious! Going to try the crockpot meatballs to my next holiday party.
These all look so delicious. It’s hard to choose just one, so I guess we have to make all of them.
Thanks for sharing Heidi, tis’ the season for great appetizers.
This is a great appetizer round-up and 5 or less ingredients is always a good thing. Thanks for including my goat cheese toasts!
There are the kinds of apps everybody needs in their back pocket this time of year. Great roundup, and thanks so much for including my recipe. I appreciate it!
Wow, what a great spread of appetizers! I love quick and easy – part of my favorite meal! Beautiful, Heidi! Thanks for including mine :)
You know, with all these easy appetizers, maybe I’ll just skip slaving in the kitchen and making a big dinner on Christmas.
I am all for bites sized dinners, and all of these look FAB. Pinned!
