10 Easy Holiday Party Starters (You’ll Actually Want to Make)
Ah, the holidays — that magical time of year when we swear we’ll stay calm, organized, and maybe even wear something without an elastic waistband. Spoiler: we never do. Between digging out the “good” serving spoons and hunting for those wine glasses that vanished after last year’s New Year’s Eve bash, hosting can get… let’s call it energetic.
That’s where Lazy Daisy’s Bake-At-Home Two-Bite Buttermilk Biscuits come to the rescue. They’re your secret weapon for looking like the kind of person who plans ahead when, in reality, you just remembered the in-laws are on their way.
Each Party Pack of 12 comes in five fabulous flavours — Famous Classic, Apple & Cinnamon, Jalapeño & Three Cheese, Roasted Garlic & Asiago, and Rosemary & Cheddar — all ready to bake (30 minutes at 350 in the oven or 20 minutes in the air fryer). They’re golden, buttery, endlessly adaptable, and 100 percent stress-free.
So pour a little bubbly, crank up Mariah Carey, and dive into these ten Freezer-to-Fancy holiday party starters that look impressive, taste incredible, and require almost zero effort…which means you’ll actually want to make them!
1. Mini Biscuit Sliders — Because Small Food Feels Fancy
Tiny food just looks impressive. Slice your baked Famous Classic or Rosemary & Cheddar biscuits in half and stack them with:
- Roast beef + horseradish mayo + a sprig of arugula
- Turkey or chicken leftovers (you know, the ones haunting your fridge)
- Brie + cranberry sauce (the holiday dream team)
Arrange them on a platter, toss some rosemary around like you’re in a Hallmark movie, and boom — instant applause.
2. Jalapeño & Three Cheese Breakfast Bites (for the Morning-After Brunch)
The real holiday miracle? Surviving the morning after. Bake Jalapeño & Three Cheese biscuits and fill with:
- Scrambled eggs + crispy bacon
- Cream cheese + smoked salmon
- Or my go-to: avocado mash with chili flakes (because pretending we’re being healthy is tradition)
Serve with strong coffee and zero judgment.
3. Roasted Garlic & Asiago Biscuit Bites with Whipped Goat Cheese & Honey
Sounds fancy, tastes even fancier, takes minutes.
Bake Roasted Garlic & Asiago biscuits, top with whipped goat cheese (store-bought totally fine), drizzle honey, sprinkle thyme, and, if you’re feeling extra, add a few pomegranate seeds. It looks restaurant-level but takes less time than finding the cheese knife.
4. Apple & Cinnamon Biscuit Dessert Board
My favourite category: dessert that’s mostly butter.
Bake Apple & Cinnamon biscuits, let them cool, and build a dessert board that would make Pinterest proud:
- Whipped cream or mascarpone
- Fresh berries
- Caramel or chocolate drizzle
- Candied pecans (if they survived your snack stash)
Let guests dip, top, and stack. Bonus: breakfast tomorrow = sorted.
5. Rosemary & Cheddar Biscuit Stuffing Cups
Take something classic, make it cute, and watch people lose their minds.
Crumble baked Rosemary & Cheddar biscuits, mix with sautéed onions, celery, herbs, and broth. Press into muffin tins, bake until golden. Voilà — individual stuffing cups. Adorable and delicious.
6. Famous Classic Biscuits with Festive Compound Butters
When in doubt, butter it out. Serve Famous Classic biscuits with a “butter bar” of festive spreads:
- Cranberry Orange Butter: butter + orange zest + cranberry sauce
- Garlic Herb Butter: butter + minced garlic + parsley + thyme
- Honey Cinnamon Butter: butter + honey + cinnamon
Add some sprigs of rosemary and small butter knives and call it a “moment.”
I also highly recommend trying Whipdd’s compound butters. They’re absolutely incredible and already come in a variety of delicious flavours.
7. Roasted Garlic & Asiago Biscuit Wreath (Centerpieces Should Be Edible)
Arrange Roasted Garlic & Asiago biscuits in a circle on parchment so they’re just touching. Bake, brush with melted butter and herbs, and place a bowl of warm dip (spinach, marinara, or baked brie) in the center.
Instant centerpiece — and yes, everyone will take a photo before eating it.
8. Mini Chicken Pot Pie Bites
Love cozy comfort food but hate complicated recipes? Use Famous Classic biscuits as the base, spoon in warm chicken (or turkey) pot-pie filling, top with the biscuit lid, and skewer with a festive toothpick. Hearty, adorable, and completely irresistible.
9. Apple & Cinnamon Ice Cream Sandwiches
Yes, dessert again — because balance.
Slice Apple & Cinnamon biscuits, fill with vanilla or butter-pecan ice cream, and roll edges in crushed candy canes or pecans. Freeze until firm, then serve.
Breakfast? Maybe not. But also… maybe yes. It’s the holidays — rules are optional.
10. Jalapeño & Three Cheese Mac & Cheese Cups
Bake and crumble Jalapeño & Three Cheese biscuits, mix with mac & cheese, spoon into mini muffin tins, sprinkle more cheese, and bake until bubbly. Portable, cheesy, and pure joy.
Hosting Tips (How to Look Like You Tried Without Actually Trying)
After countless parties (and biscuit experiments), I’ve learned a few truths:
- Nobody remembers burnt edges — they remember snacks.
- If it’s small and on a wooden board, it’s “artisanal.”
- Candlelight hides everything.
- Cheese fixes all sins.
The holidays aren’t about perfection — they’re about laughter, crumbs, and comfort food that brings people together.
The Lazy Daisy Promise
When I created Lazy Daisy’s Bake-At-Home Two-Bite Buttermilk Biscuits, the goal wasn’t just another frozen biscuit. It was about sharing that fresh-from-the-café comfort — flaky, buttery, and golden — straight from your oven in 20–30 minutes.
They pair beautifully with everything — brunch spreads, cocktail parties, or quiet mornings with coffee — bringing a taste of homemade comfort to every table.
Wrapping It Up (Preferably in Foil, for Later)
The holidays can be a wild ride, but good food makes everything better. With a party pack of Lazy Daisy’s biscuits, you can whip up ten different party starters faster than you can say “Who brought the fruitcake?”
So preheat that oven, pull out your party platter, and get ready to impress with minimal effort. Because the only thing better than hearing “These are amazing!” is knowing you didn’t even break a sweat making them.
Now, go forth and biscuit boldly. 🧈✨
