27 Appetizers for New Year’s Eve

Christmas is done and New Year’s Eve is almost here. Our favourite way to celebrate is by serving a ton of appetizers for New Year’s Eve dinner. It’s fun, festive and doesn’t have to mean a full day in the kitchen. It’s also an easy way to flex the amount you serve to include friends and family you would like to celebrate with. The more the merrier, right?

I’m not usually one to decorate for New Year’s but we have a great DIY New Year’s Party idea for Kids that you’ll love. It’s easy to have a bubbly New Years with balloons.

Now, on to the appetizers for New Year’s Eve. We love all of these and I add or subtract others depending on who is attending. It’s fun to add a new appetizer or two to our favourites. I’ve divided my suggestions into two categories, appetizers and dips.
