Easy-Peasy Holiday Entertaining At Home

Your guests will think you spent hours in prep mode getting this spread ready, but your secret is safe with us. We found delicious, fancy-shmancy appetizers and savoury snacks from Canadian brands that are so simple to heat and serve, you’ll actually have time to breathe before your guests arrive. Just add a tray of festive cocktails or a couple bottles of bubbly on ice to your table, and guess what? You’re holiday entertaining like a pro. —Catherine Dunwoody
