25 of the Best Festive Finger Foods!

November 28, 2017 by Ciara Attwell, Updated January 13, 2023

25 of the Best Festive Finger Foods for the Christmas and New Year Holidays!

25 of The Best Festive Finger Foods

For me, the Festive Season is mostly synonymous both party food and with friends and relatives popping in (sometimes unexpectedly!) I always feel the need to feed people or at least offer “picky bits” when they come over!

This is obviously not a problem when it’s a scheduled visit, but on the odd occasion that people do drop by unexpectedly, I find myself scrabbling around in  fridge and the cupboards and usually end up presenting something really random to my bewildered guests!

In an effort to be more organised this year, I will be making sure I am prepared for any and all “drop ins”  for both grown ups and their small people alike with this list of some of the tastiest and easiest both sweet and savoury Festive Finger Food Recipes!
