50 New Year’s Eve Party Appetizers

Get your soirée started with our 50 New Year’s Eve Party Appetizers! We have everything from vegetarian bites to dips and snacks to keep your party crowd happy and well-fed!

The new year is just a few days away, and while we’re all gearing up for New Year’s resolutions at my house I’m also prepping for our New Year’s Eve party!

We love having friends over to watch the ball drop and ring in a new year. I don’t like cooking a big meal and treat this as more of a cocktail party. I make 7 or 8 different appetizers and dips for our new years eve party food and make a couple great big batch cocktails – like my cranberry pineapple punch and holiday sangria.

These new years eve party ideas make hosting a breeze. So grab your favorite little black dress, gather your friends, grab some paper hats & noisemakers, and get ready to countdown to midnight!
