Holiday Party Guide

Watch Andrea share her tips with NBC on how to throw the hottest affair this winter!

To add some pizazz to the usual veggies and dip dish, we served them up in a fun and super convenient way! Simply purchase some votive cups -we chose red and green for a festive touch. Put some dip at the bottom of the cup and lay out your veggies! You can put a few of these cups around the room so your guests aren't stuck in one corner hovering over the vegetable tray.

For the main dish which consisted of chinese takeout, we presented them in chinese takeout boxes in fun, festive colors. These are available at any craft store and can be used to serve any dish!

We served the classic tomato and mozzerella appetizer on little seafood forks which we stuck in a brick of oasis (available at your local florist). To decorate the brick of oasis, simply wet it and cover it with carnations!

To serve our soup , we took some small sake cups and embellished them with a cute red ribbon. Simple, yet elegant!

Finally, to serve your small snack, you can make your own paper cones. We used scrapbooking paper, but you can pretty much use any thick paper like old wrapping paper or card stock.
