Charlie and I were discussing Christmas and Thanksgiving the other day. Charlie asked me if we could host an open house and invite our friends and family over for snacks. Hosting a Holiday/ Christmas Open House is something I’ve always wanted to do. After talking to Charlie, I let him know hosting the open house would be fine with me, but we would need to start planning and getting things ready for the Open house. Charlie let me know he would find recipes we could prepare. Charlie came up with 25 KID FRIENDLY RECIPE BASED HOLIDAY SNACKS that we can serve at our party.

Charlie and I begin to prepare our Menu for our Holiday Get Together we found Pork, Chestnut & Cranberry Sausage Rolls from Greedy Gourmet. Charlie let me know he would like to prepare Pork, Chestnut & Cranberry Sausage Rolls to bring to the staff in his school.
The morning they get out for the Holidays so the teachers would have a treat because they do so much for the students. I thought that was so kind t I told Charlie we would make Pork, Chestnut & Cranberry Sausage Rolls and pick up different beverages for the staff as well.
As Charlie and I continued to plan our Holiday Get Together David came in and looked through all the recipes we were thinking about making when David asked if I would create EASY LOW-CARB HAM AND DILL PICKLE APPETIZER BITES for his Christmas Party they host at the Airport.
The funny part was Charlie let David know he would make EASY LOW-CARB HAM AND DILL PICKLE APPETIZER BITES for him. I was so surprised I almost fell in the floor. Charlie does love to cook and he has gotten better at helping us in the house.
Could it be because Santa is on his way?
Charlie and I continued working on our Menu for our Holiday Get Together. When we came upon PUMPKIN PIE GUMMIES. Charlie asked me if we would be able to make these for our next movie night because Charlie said they reminded him of his favorite snacks.
I let Charlie know I would help him make PUMPKIN PIE GUMMIES but I wouldn’t eat them because I don’t like Gummies. Charlie being Charlie said that’s okay dad and I will eat them all. You can just watch us. What can I say other than my son LOVES me!!
Charlie and I continued working on the menu for our Holiday Get Together. Charlie found Snowmen On A Stick and I knew these would be the perfect Gift for all the children on our Gift Giving List.
Along with my mother-in-law who is like me and loves Powdered Donuts although once Charlie and I make Snowmen on A Stick we may not share them. If you would like them you will need to make your own.
I hope you enjoyed these 25 KID FRIENDLY RECIPE BASED HOLIDAY SNACKS. If Charlie and I find more recipes we will be back to share them with you.
In the meantime if you know of other Kid Friendly Recipes based on the Holidays you think Charlie would enjoy please leave us a comment so we can check those recipes out as well.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
I am definitely going to make some of these this year. I am hosting Christmas dinner, so this is perfect for me with all the awesome ideas!
These are all such tasty little treats. They’re perfect for holiday get-togethers. I think I’ll be making those sausage rolls first.
We have done this for Thanksgiving in years past. We only did dessert. I baked all kinds of pies and different treats and everyone had a wonderful time.
Oooh these look delicious! I will definitely be making a bunch of these throughout the Christmas holidays! I looove chocolate bark haha
I need to come to one of your parties LOL. You definitely have the right idea down. I will be using a couple of these over our holidays.
These all look tasty! I’ll have to make some of these with my kids! I always love trying new things.
Love this roundup! So many yummy recipes that I can’t wait to make for my family this holiday season.
My kids enjoy foods that are holiday themed and cute to look at! I like that they are like a snack and craft in one.
I like kid friendly treats, we usually bake together as a family.
So much cooking and baking inspiration! I always enjoy trying new recipes around this time of the year.
Those snowmen on a stick are so freaking cute! That’s perfect for a fun holiday party.
This is a great collection. I need to make a few of these with my girls this year.
These are kid friendly! I saw so many that my younger nieces and nephews would like. I am in charge of a snack, so I am sure one of these will make the list.
These are awesome recipes to try! My niece will surely love all of this.
These all look and sound so good, I’m not sure where to start. Because I think they’d be a hit with even my pickiest eater, I’d try EASY LOW-CARB HAM AND DILL PICKLE APPETIZER BITES first.
Love this holiday snack collection, I would like to try few of them Best part they are kids friendly too. Gingerbread cookie bites looks really nice.
Love how simple some of these look. My kitchen loves helping in the kitchen. As soon as our kitchen is back up and running, I know he will want to try some.
Yum!!! What a fun idea—and so many yummy-looking recipes! I can’t wait to make the ham and pickle bites and the marshmallow cinnamon things!
