40 Holiday Cocktail Party Recipes...from appetizers and cocktails  mocktails to desserts and sweet treats

The holidays are a time of togetherness. A time to create memories, a time for remembering what’s truly important in life, a time for love and laughter. I love the fact that life slows down a little this time of year…at least in some respects anyway. 

Of course with the holidays comes party time as well. And all those gatherings usually feature cocktails and food. Last Monday, 40 food bloggers got together for a 2014 Cocktail Party Blog Hop. From appetizers, to cocktails and mocktails, to desserts and sweet treats, there were some fabulous holiday party recipe ideas shared!  

I shared my late father in law’s Sausage Ball appetizer recipe. If you missed it, you should definitely go back and check it out. My father in law was truly an amazing cook…it was a hobby for him later in life, and everyone loved his cooking. It was a treat to eat at his house, and I am not kidding when I say I usually could get a better meal there than just about any restaurant. 

So, if you’re looking for holiday party recipe ideas for the upcoming get-together you’re hosting, or the one you’re going to, you’re in the right place! Today I am sharing all 40 of these wonderful recipes with you!
