Having a party in December (for maybe 25-30 people). What are your favorite foods that people serve at parties?

Bacon wrapped anything.

This is very old school -- but I love potato chips and onion dip. I make dip by caramelizing chopped onions, the deglazing the pan with balsamic vinegar. Cool. Add to sour cream with salt and pepper, and I add fresh chives and/or parsley if I have it. People love it.

Also old school and always gobbled up immediately -- deviled eggs.

OP here. Deviled eggs are the BEST!

Pigs in a blanket. Not kidding. Even fancy people devour them when they think nobody’s looking.

Mini meatballs with grape jelly and chili sauce.

I'm totally old school:

Grape jelly meatballs
Japaleno poppers
Deviled eggs
Cream cheese with pepper jelly

I also love a good charcuterie

If everyone is going to be standing, think about how they can balance the food and eat it. Lean toward one-bite things like mini quiche, meatballs, poppers.

Mini quiches, pigs in a blanket, the sausage rolls my family makes, holiday cookies. Basically I’m basic. 😆

Oooh. I’ve never had homemade onion dip like this. That sounds amazing! I’d do that.

I also love stuffed mushroom caps

Old school stuff is the best stuff. Agree with your entire list. Plus PPs’ suggestions of bacon-wrapped anything, and shrimp cocktail.

Pigs in a blanket and spinach balls, my favorite appetizer dinner.

That’s the thing, most people love all this stuff. It all gets eaten right away.
