Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
since I love the holidays and I love to cook it was the easiest conclusion to say I am hosting a holiday party before my usual Christmas party this year.
I decided to invite some of our closest friends for a nice and relaxed but festive evening with good food, wine and a pretty tablescape.
I opted for a red and gold table scape and it turned out great. Somehow I am always gravitating around red but it is just the prettiest and traditional Christmas color but there is a huge change in decor this year so stay tuned, post is going to be up next week.
The little favors on each plate include a few chocolate pralinés and I thought it would be a really nice idea to give something. Also they match with the decor so it was probably a win-win situation.
I like to serve an aperitif to give to the guests when they arrive. It is much nicer to stand or gather and chat a little at first waiting till everyone arrives than sitting there and waiting for the food.

I made cranberry mimosas as an aperitif which turned out really good. It is a pretty simple recipe. Just mix champagne and cranberry juice how you think it tastes best. This way you can decide on your own if you like it either light or strong. I mixed ones bottle of chamgagne with one bottle of cranberry juice. For decor and also for adding some flavor I added some mint leavs on stems and raspberries.
I wanted to have a little more rustic charm that is why I put them into mason jars and not into champagne flutes. Another reason was cause I wanted to use this super cute straws with the bells in the middle.
Do you have any holiday parties planed ?
Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
