    Holiday Hosting Hacks

    7 December 2023

    Are you ready to take your holiday hosting to the next level? We’ve got the inside scoop on some fabulous and affordable Holiday Hosting Hacks that are bound to make your holiday gatherings unforgettable. Elevate Your Appetizers and Side Dishes Transform traditional veggie salads into individual masterpieces by serving them in small compostable containers or mini coupe cups. Think endive with candied walnuts, blue cheese, and honey crisp apple – it’s both festive and easy to serve. Upgrade your Cocktail prawn platter by turning it into prawn shooters. Place 1-2 prawns in shot glasses with cocktail sauce, celery, and avocado for a stylish twist. For comfort food, try mini mac and cheese baked in small ramekins and serve it straight out of the oven on a tray for that cozy, homemade touch. Food Styling Magic for Your Holiday Trays and Platters Garnishes are your secret weapon to make your holiday spread look like it’s straight from a professional caterer. Add flair to your buffet with produce from your local grocery store, such as mini artichokes, pomegranates, crabapples, mini pears, rosemary, sage, cranberries, and champagne grapes. Elevate your cheese trays by adding small porcelain ramekins filled with spiced nuts, marcona almonds, and mixed olives. It’s the epitome of elegance! Set Up Your Bar for Prime Time Ditch the plastic and invest in inexpensive all-purpose wine glasses or vintage glassware to elevate your event - a sustainable and stylish choice. Become a bartender pro with unique drink garnishes like dried citrus slices, candied ginger, cocktail boba pearls, and edible glitter. And don’t forget the preserved hibiscus flower at the base of a champagne flute for a one-of-a-kind holiday champagne cocktail. Create a polished look for your non-alcoholic beverages by investing in fun vintage ice buckets and stainless-steel ice tubs.
