Host a Stellar Holiday After-Dinner Party ─ Chowhound

Hosting a dinner party during the holidays can be a huge undertaking—from menu planning to figuring out the guest list (no, Aunt Harriet can not be seated next to your cousin Roger’s vegan girlfriend)—it’s no small task. Friends and family are overscheduled and already struggling to fit in quality time with loved ones, let alone attending the mandatory office holiday party. So now that it’s almost the end of the year, change it up and host one to remember this holiday: with less prep work and more fun, it’s an easy way to get in the holiday spirit.
