The holidays are a time to relax, reflect, and enjoy time with loved ones. If you're hosting this holiday season, it is probably because you're looking forward to inviting your friends and family over for a shared meal and revelry. In practice, however, preparing a sumptuous feast for a group can feel like the opposite of relaxing, and getting bogged down in all the details that go along with party prep can leave little time to connect.
Luckily, we've spent years perfecting our hosting chops and we're here to share our secrets for a perfect meal. We've got your covered – from appetizers to mains to desserts and drinks – so you can spend more time enjoying and indulging this year.
Appetizers
Guests are arriving and you're still finishing up in the kitchen with your main course? No problem. Set out appetizers and let everyone mingle over small bites and small talk while you put the finishing touches on the meal. Here are a few of our favorites. Most are easy to prep ahead so you can just lay them out when the festivities are ready to begin.
Sides
Round out your meal with a few simple and versatile side dishes – roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, and some heartier options with complex and refreshing flavors to cut the richness of your main course. And remember: just because they are a breeze to make, doesn't mean they're boring!
Desserts
The star of any holiday table is the desserts. Most holiday desserts are rooted in longstanding family tradition – grandma's famous cookie recipe and pumpkin pie with a top-secret ingredient. Whether you're sticking to the classics or building new traditions that add a sweet finish to the meal, the best desserts are always made with nature's best sweetener.
Drinks
No party is complete without the drinks. Whether you're imbibing in a cocktail, or looking for a festive drink for all ahes – maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness and balance. Our mixers + bitters take it one step further with all the elements of a great cocktail – just add the booze.
