1. Mini Caprese Skewers
This is one of my personal favorites. Add cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and mozzarella balls to 4-inch holiday skewers, alternating each ingredient until the stick is half full. When done with all the skewers, drizzle a balsamic glaze over the top.

2. Christmas Hummus Wreath
Prepare a bowl of hummus. Place gluten-free crackers, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and olives around the bowl. Add rosemary sprigs throughout to make it look like a Christmas wreath. This serving tray is perfect for a hummus wreath appetizer.

3. Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese
Slice sweet potatoes into rounds. Rub with olive oil and roast until tender. Remove from the oven and let cool. Smooth goat cheese across the top and layer with chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Place rounds onto this tri-level tray. Drizzle some honey on top and they’re ready to go. Thank me later on this one.
