The #1 Christmas Appetizer Strategy I Use Every Year


Hey Reader!

I don’t know about you, but the minute the Christmas season rolls around, my brain goes straight to what I’m going to feed people. Not in a stressed-out way (we’re not doing that anymore), but in a “how can I make this feel warm, generous, and easy” kind of way.

After years of hosting Christmas Eve get-togethers, open houses, and last-minute drop-ins, I’ve learned this: If I’ve got a good lineup of dips and spreads, I can handle just about any gathering.

That’s why I’m so excited to share my brand-new post with you!
