The warmest Christmas parties include homemade snacks and a warm table. In the form of sweet bites and savoury nibbles, festal foods offer comfort, conversation and companionship. These are the same Christmas treats you can easily make and enjoy for anyone of all ages. They work for family nights, parties or solitary holiday afternoons. Both dishes are half taste and half tradition, meaning each part is pretty equal when all those common ingredients and seasonally specific touches are boiled down. Served on fancy dishes or as a gift to eat, these snacks take no adornment.
