The Stress-Free Holiday Party Plan
From setup to cleanup, a step-by-step guide to hosting a sophisticated yet deceptively simple party.
Step 1: Make Only Easy, Impressive Food

The Menu
- Crab and Chive Puffs
- Hot Ricotta Dip
- Maple-Glazed Ham with biscuits, mustards, and chutney
- Mini Gingerbread Cupcakes
- Store-bought goodies: Mixed olives, pickled vegetables, pistachios, and clementines
