These Holiday Party Treats include both hot and cold appetizers and beverages.
I created this post to share some of my family’s favorites that I make for the holidays.
These recipes are simple, easy to whip together, can be made a head of time, and travel well to gatherings.
You will see these beverage and appetizer recipes are healthy, plant based, dairy free, vegan, and gluten free.
Holiday Party Treats
Appetizers
Vegan Stuffed Mushrooms are one of the easiest and best appetizers for any occasion!
They are easy to customize, healthy, and can be made ahead of time.
If you love mushrooms as much as we do, you are going to love these Slow Cooked Mushrooms!
Just throw everything into a slow cooker and cook on low for 3 to 4 hours and you’ll have these savory and tender mushrooms ready for your guest.
Next is my Vegan Vegetable Cream Cheese, it is so rich, creamy and so easy to make.
Use it as a dip for chips, crackers, or vegetables.
Or spread on your special holiday bread and serve.
Hummus is a staple in our home and we always enjoy it during the holidays.
But there’s no need to buy hummus, you can easily make your very own Red Pepper Hummus at home!
It can be spread on your special holiday bread, or use it as a dip for chips and crackers.
The last appetizer I love to serve for the holidays is An Easy Avocado Salsa.
This tangy and sweet salsa is a great side salad or a dip for your chips and crackers, making this appetizer the perfect addition to the holidays.

Hot Beverages
We are in the full swing of the holidays and with that crisp cold weather of winter, it’s a perfect time to share with you my hot beverage recipes.
For the chocolate lovers I have my Homemade Vegan Hot Chocolate.
It’s a simple fast and easy recipe that is rich, creamy and full of that chocolatey goodness that we all love and enjoy!
If you are wanting a little something different, why not make a Vegan Steamer.
A steamer is made of steamed milk that is flavored with different spices or syrups.
Or maybe you are looking for something fruity that is a little more sweet.
Try a simple Mulled Apple Cider that is slowly simmered with citrus, berries and warming spices that make the house smell warm, inviting, and cozy.
The next beverage can be served hot or cold, my Homemade Vegan Chai.
Chai is the perfect combination of black tea, vegan milk, spices, and can be topped with whipped cream.
It’s so easy to customize this tea by adding different amounts of your favorite spices for your own taste.
Cold Beverages
One of my favorite cold beverages for the holiday season is the Vegan Holiday Nog.
It is so easy to make, customizable, and a perfect alternative to the traditional eggnog.
Maybe you are thinking of making mocktails for the new year celebrations.
Here are a few great ideas for a large group or just a few friends.
Looking for a healthy beverage to celebrate with?
Try this Healthy Christmas Sparkler.
Serve it with your breakfast or during the evening while ringing in the new year.
It’s made from fresh celery, apples, ginger, topped off with sparkling water, and a slice of fresh lime.
So easy to make, naturally sweet, tangy, and refreshing juice that everyone will fall in love with.
Next is the refreshing Sparkling Holiday Punch, it’s full of vibrant colors from the juice, fruit and herbs that make this a must have addition to any party!
Garnishing with the festive bright greens of mint, spearmint or fresh rosemary, making it perfect for the holidays.
Another beverage that is so easy to make is the Sparkling Party Punch.
It has only 5 ingredients and is so simple to make.
It’s a drink that is tart and sweet, with just the right amount of fizz, and is a delightfully refreshing non-alcoholic party drink.
The last of my holiday beverages is the festive Sparkling Cranberry Cosmo Mocktail.
It’s a bright, refreshing mocktail with just the right mix of tang and sweetness, making it the perfect addition to any holiday gathering.
I hope I gave you a few different options to try and enjoy with your family and friends.
Wishing you a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season, Enjoy!
