12 Crowd-Pleasing Christmas Party Food Ideas

Bring a gastronomic twist to the gathering with this recipe for Christmas Kuih Party! A great choice of finger food for large parties, this culinary creation draws inspiration from the traditional Peranakan dish, Kueh Pie Tee, but gives it an innovative twist. Instead of the usual filling made with turnips, each crispy tart shell offers a burst of flavour with a refreshing combination of diced steamed cod fish, Japanese cucumber and avocado, complete with a zesty lemon and olive oil dressing.

Best of all, you can make the filling in advance, then assemble the dish just before serving so that the shells stay crisp and delicious! Easily shareable and visually appealing, Christmas Kuih Party promises to add a unique touch to your festive celebrations.

Embrace the festive spirit with this whimsical and delightful dish: Christmas Treat Candy Cane Sushi! In this recipe, you’ll take a step beyond the conventional, and use vibrantly coloured red and green rice to create a sushi roll that looks like a giant festive candy cane.

Instead of peppermint-flavoured hard candy, this candy cane is filled with succulent luncheon ham, crunchy cucumber, fresh carrots and delicate strips of egg omelette.

Perfect as a bite-sized appetiser or a unique side dish, this sushi roll makes a great talking point at any Christmas party. Pair it with some warm miso soup to enjoy delicious Japanese-themed fare. Itadakimasu!

Who said sliders can’t get a festive makeover? These Focaccia Pork Shoulder Sliders are the delicious result of classic comfort meets Christmas flair.

The exotic focaccia — soft and chewy on the inside, with a crisp, golden outer crust — elevates the experience, while the slightly charred pork shoulder slices add body and depth of flavour. What truly sets this dish apart, however, is the zesty homemade salsa: a fresh burst of cherry tomatoes and pineapple to evoke tropical holiday cheer.

These sliders will bring both nostalgia and innovation to the table, promising to charm both slider purists and those looking for a refreshing holiday twist!
