14 Child-friendly Christmas appetizers

Published: Oct 25, 2021 Β· Modified: Jul 14, 2023 by Morgan Β· This post may contain affiliate links Β·

Planning a Christmas party? Here are some great ideas for child friendly Christmas appetizers!

The holiday season often means lots of party planning is going on.

If you are planning a holiday party, you might be looking for some kids Christmas party food ideas!

Now, I will say, it's hard to declare something as "kid friendly".

My daughter LOVES cucumber and tomatoes but my son says GROSS!

My kids eat meatballs and hamburgers but your kids might only like chicken nuggets.

So, if you are hosting a small number of kids - ask first. Ask their parent or caregiver what they actually like to eat.

Because, Christmas appetizers for kids can look really different depending on what they actually like to eat!

Here are some ideas for Santa themed snacks!

Anyways, here are some holiday appetizers that would be a hit with my kids! I hope that your kids will love them, too!
