These adorable Snowman Cheese Crostini with mozzarella and basil make an excellent addition to your Christmas party menu. They are easy to make in advance, and great to serve a crowd.

A white plate holds seven bites of bread topped with cheese and vegetables arranged to resemble snowmen, garnished with green leaves and small decorative lights.

To make them even more jolly, give the snowmen a halved tomato and mayo hat and arrange them on a large platter with my Christmas Bruschetta.

Recipe Tip

You can top the toasted baguette with olive oil, pesto, or tomato slices before you add the snowmen. And if you prefer not to use candy eyes, try balsamic glaze, sesame seeds, or peppercorns.

Slices of bread topped with cheese, cucumbers, and vegetables arranged to look like snowmen with carrot noses, olive eyes, and scarf decorations—these festive bites make fun and healthy food recipes for any celebration.
