The perfect appetizer for Christmas, New Year’s, or just at home with the family! I love Christmas. I love the decorating, baking, picking out presents, wrapping, and dressing up. I love how cozy and full our house looks with all the decorations. I love how just a simple drive to the store at night becomes a magical trip with all the Christmas lights that the kids spot along the way. I think most of all, I love how even regular activities seem so much more special at Christmas time! A simple movie night at home can be a special, even for the kiddos, with just a few easy tweaks. I really like surprising them with a bunch of fun snacks, drinks, and renting a movie they’ve been begging to see. Here are some ideas to make it even more special: have a spread of appetizers and snacks for dinner that night tie shiny ribbon on glasses serve ginger ale or root beer to make the kids feel like they’re having “grown up” drinks bring blankets and pillows into the TV room for maximum comfiness turn off all the lights except the Christmas lights for a true “movie theater” atmosphere PJ’s and slippers mandatory attire! phones and tablets away for the night (that means you too, Mom & Dad!) Just a few simple touches can make a boring weeknight into something special and memorable for the whole family. I really enjoy being able to give the kids some fun memories of Christmas! These Smoked Sweet Kielbasa Bites are a perfect appetizer idea for a quiet movie night at home, or any holiday party you may be hosting this year! Four ingredients and some bake time are all you need to prepare these addictive sausage bites – and I do mean ADDICTIVE! These little guys will be gone the minute you put them down!

Mags says November 22, 2018 at 7:54 pm I’ve made these several times. Everyone loves this appetizer, however my sauce never thickens. Should I cover it or bake them uncovered? Reply
