Cold apps or desserts for Christmas party?

what is your favorite thing to eat or make for a Christmas party? Need some ideas for my big annual Christmas bash coming up and I don't want to do anything hot this year.

Mmmm that cannoli dip sounds great, can you pot the recipe?

I've seen recipes for a caramel dip that would be great with sliced apples and gingersnaps (soak the apples in a lemon juice/water mixture or orange juice so that they don't brown!).

can I have the caramel dip recipe scooby?

Here's one version:

I bet you could mix the caramel sauce right in with the cream cheese mixture, too. I think that would make it more dippable. It would be yummy with pecans in there, too.

I made a great fruit dip with cream cheese and crushed Heath Bar for Thanksgiving. It was so good! It's also really good with graham crakers or nilla wafers. Let me know if you want the recipe. It's super simple.

A friend of mine posted these bacon cups om FB the other day. You basically turn a muffin tin upside down and drape the muffin cups with bacon and then bake it in the oven. Let it cool and then remove the bacon "cups". Fill EM with anything you want!

finger sandwiches or sandwich rollups
phyllo cups filled with chicken salad
beer cheese dip or spinach dip
bruschetta (since tomatoes are out of season, you could top with other combinations - cheese, roasted red peppers, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes)
