Christmas Party Food: 5 Easy Christmas Party Snacks for Kids

Planning a children’s Christmas party? Between preparing food, decorating and organising games, there is plenty to do. A few ready-to-serve treats can make putting together the party food much easier.

From panda-shaped cookies to crisp butter eggrolls, these five Kee Wah snacks bring variety to the table. Add some festive tableware and a few simple decorations, and your Christmas treats are ready to share.

 

How to plan Christmas party food for kids

Start with a few savoury options, then add fruit and a small selection of sweet snacks. This gives children different flavours to enjoy without making the menu too complicated.

  • Savoury bites: Mini sandwiches, small portions of pasta or chicken rice balls are easy to serve.

  • Fresh fruit: Cut fruit into suitable sizes for the children’s ages and serve it separately from biscuits and pastries.

  • Sweet snacks: Offer a few cookies, eggrolls or palmiers alongside the other food, adjusting quantities to suit the number of guests.

Think about pack sizes as well as flavours. Smaller packs can make it easier to work out quantities, while fun shapes and colourful packaging help the table feel festive.

 

5 ready-to-serve Christmas party snacks for kids

1. Christmas Cookies: Panda cookies

Panda-shaped cookies add a playful touch to a Christmas snack platter. Kee Wah Panda Cookies combine butter and chocolate flavours in a light, crumbly biscuit, with black-and-white details that create the familiar panda face.

Each pack contains 12 cookies, making it easy to plan how many you need. Serve them on individual plates or mix them with other cookies on a sharing platter.

How to serve

  1. Arrange the cookies face up on a shallow white or red plate.

  2. Leave a little space between them and add cranberry butter cookies for a touch of colour.

Party tip: Keep the cookies in a single layer so the panda faces are easy to see. This also makes them easier to pick up without breaking.

2. Christmas cookies: Cranberry butter cookies

Cranberry butter cookies bring a fruity flavour to the Christmas table. Made with New Zealand butter, Kee Wah Butter Cookies with Cranberry have a crumbly texture with sweet, tangy cranberry pieces.

The red fruit adds a festive touch without any extra decorating. Pair the cookies with green napkins or red-and-white plates for a simple Christmas colour scheme.

How to serve

  1. Arrange the cookies around the edge of a round plate.

  2. Place a small bowl of washed, drained and suitably cut strawberries in the centre.

  3. Keep the fruit and cookies separate so children can choose what they would like.

Party tip: Moisture from fruit can soften cookies. Keep the strawberries in their own bowl and put the platter together shortly before serving.

3. Christmas snacks: Butter eggrolls

These sweet, crisp rolled biscuits are a familiar Hong Kong treat and an easy addition to a Christmas party. Kee Wah Butter Eggrolls are made with flour, eggs and butter, giving them a rich egg flavour and a delicate crunch.

Serve them alongside cookies to offer a different texture, or put out a separate plate for guests to share.

How to serve

  1. Line a shallow rectangular plate with baking paper.

  2. Lay the eggrolls flat in small groups, avoiding tall stacks.

  3. Leave small plates nearby so children can take a portion and sit down to enjoy it.

Party tip: Eggrolls break easily. If you are taking them to a party, keep them in the original box and avoid placing anything heavy on top. Arrange them on a plate once you arrive.

Palmiers are crisp, butterfly-shaped pastries that look lovely on a sharing plate. Kee Wah Butter Palmiers are made with New Zealand butter and have a sweet, buttery flavour.

The 18-piece gift box is convenient for family gatherings or taking to a friend’s home. Their golden colour and distinctive shape also work well alongside Panda Cookies and cranberry butter cookies.

How to serve

  1. Arrange the palmiers in a fan shape on a large plate.

  2. Place Panda Cookies on the other side, keeping the two types in separate groups.

  3. Add red and green napkins to complete the festive setting.

5. Christmas cookies: Winnie the Pooh honey cookies

For young Winnie the Pooh fans, a familiar character can make the party table even more inviting. Kee Wah’s Disney Winnie the Pooh Honey Cookies Gift Box contains 10 honey cookies, adding another flavour to your selection of Christmas treats.

Inspired by Pooh’s honey pot, the box features raised decorative details and an illustration of him relaxing on the grass. Place it beside the cookies as part of the table decorations.

How to serve

  1. Arrange the cookies on a small plate and place the gift box alongside.

  2. Use yellow napkins and small red place cards to match Pooh’s colours.

  3. If you are bringing the box to a gathering, keep it unopened until you arrive.

Party tip: For a Christmas gift exchange, leave the cookies in their original box and attach a handwritten card. There is no need to divide them into separate bags.

Tips for preparing Christmas party snacks

Two or three types of sweet treats are a useful starting point when you are also serving savoury food and fruit. Adjust quantities according to the number of guests, their appetites and the length of the party.

Put out smaller plates and refill them as needed. This lets everyone try different snacks without filling the table all at once.

  1. Prepare the table in advance

Set out plates, napkins and name cards before guests arrive. Keep cookies, eggrolls and palmiers sealed until shortly before serving to help preserve their crisp texture.

Having the table ready also leaves you with less to do when the party begins.

  1. Let children help with simple decorations

Children can choose napkin colours, draw Christmas place cards or help decide where the plates should go. These small jobs let them join in with the preparations.

The panda faces, butterfly-shaped pastries and character packaging already add interest to the table. A few handmade decorations are enough to give the spread a personal touch.

 

Christmas party snacks FAQs

 

Q1. What are some easy Christmas party snacks that do not need baking?

Ready-to-serve cookies, butter eggrolls and palmiers are simple options. Arrange a few varieties on plates, add festive napkins and serve fruit separately for an easy party spread.

 

Q2. Can I prepare a Christmas cookie platter the night before?

You can choose the plates and plan the arrangement in advance, but keep the cookies sealed until shortly before serving. Prepare fruit separately and keep it away from the biscuits so moisture does not soften them.

 

Q3. What should I check before taking snacks to a school Christmas party?

Check whether the school accepts food from home and whether it has any rules about ingredients or packaging. Keep the ingredient, allergen and expiry-date labels with the snacks, and find out about any food allergies in advance so teachers can organise sharing.

 

Q4. How should I store leftover cookies and eggrolls?

Follow the packaging instructions for unopened products. Place opened snacks in resealable bags or airtight containers, keep them somewhere cool and dry, and enjoy them promptly. Store different types separately to help preserve their flavours and textures.
