Christmas and Christmas Eve are two of my favorite holidays. Everyone is so busy during the holiday season with shopping, wrapping, making gingerbread houses, decorating, baking cookies and putting up your tree. There is just so much to do.

Cooking and baking are definitely my favorite thing to do during the holiday season. My tradition with my children is baking cookies. Those are always a holiday dessert that everyone loves.

What about an holiday appetizer? What is your favorite holiday appetizer? During Christmas we like to serve many appetizers for our guests including a caprese salad, vegetables and dips, baked breads, cheese platters, antipasto, stuffed mushrooms, fried calamari and so much more.
