It’s officially party season! You’re invited to share your holiday shareables like Buffalo chicken cheese balls, pecan-stuffed mushrooms or creamy shrimp scampi dip. Simple sweets like eggnog blondies, peppermint cannoli and champagne doughnut holes are welcome, too. And what’s a cocktail party without…a cocktail?

We’ll raise a glass to a cardamom gin fizz, tiramisu white Russians and your cozy mulled wine recipe, for sure.

Send your original recipes with 12 or fewer ingredients and we’ll get the party started.
