Every Christmas Eve my family gets together and instead of having a large sit down meal, we all bring appetizers and just snack all night long. Some of the things people are already bringing are little smokies and meatballs, taco plate, pickle roll ups, spinach dip with hawaian bread, and a cream cheese shrimp plate. I am looking for an appetizer to bring but cant really think of something. We try to keep everythign simple so if you have any ideas of thigns that will go along with this let me know. Thanks!

Take cream cheese(soft)add chopped scallions(green onions).Use either dried beef or ham(deli style).Spread mixture on each slice of dried beef or ham,roll up.Secure with cocktail picks.Arrange around a hearty amount of cubed sharp cheese on a bed of Romain lettuce.Quick,easy-delious.
Also blue cheese with cocktail crackers.

Here is some nice addition to the party menu. Make nice groumet cheese and fruits plate(sliced apple,grapes,etc) . Serve them with different crackers, sliced french bread, pita / your choice. Also stuffed small mushrooms. Put mushroom upside down on cookie sheet and add cheese(cream, feta or pizza cheese/ pick one) with sundried tomato pesto(store bought) Bake them at 350 degree (F) for 20 min or so. Have a great party.

How about taquitos?
Buy a broiled chicken from your grocery store (most have them in their Deli) and some corn tortillas. Then, shred the chicken, put some in a tortilla, roll it up and secure it with a toothpick. Deep fry them in oil and wa-la.
Make some queso, a bowl of salsa & a bowl of sour cream for dips.
It's really good!!

It sounds like there are already a lot of savory/salty things on the menu, so why not bake up some nice sweet blueberry muffins? You can find really easy recipes online and frozen blueberries are not hard to come by. For diabetics or people who don't like sugar, you can sweeten them with Splenda.
Alternatively, you could just hit the grocery store tomorrow and buy some. :)

2 packs softened cream cheese

Brushcetta is always good. Like traditional with tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella and fresh basil, or pesto with a cube of provolone, or even hummus with a bit of parsley oil.
