Budget Christmas party food recipes

Throw a fabulous Christmas party without breaking the bank. These Christmas party food recipes are perfect for entertaining on a budget.

Our budget-friendly Christmas party food ideas include easy nibbles made with shop-bought pastry (turkey and cranberry sausage rolls), simple festive bakes (deep-filled mince pies) and short-cut canapes without lengthy lists of ingredients. There’s plenty of vegetarian and vegan party bites too – spiced paneer, breaded pickled shiitake mushrooms and more – which are so delicious, all your guests will be asking for more. Our nutella star wreath is a showstopper, but if you fancy a savoury wreath, you should try a sausage roll one.

Discover more party nibbles, and take a look at our dedicated Christmas recipes hub too.
