I like to keep it easy for gatherings so that I don’t feel like I have to spend the whole party in the kitchen. This festive wreath snack is quick, tasty, and looks adorable at a Christmas pajama party!

It just takes a few minutes to prep, you can pop it in the oven just before your guests arrive, and it’s pretty cute to boot. Check out the simple recipe below.

Ingredients
60 RITZ Crackers
2/3 cup whipped cream cheese spread
1 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese
2 cloves roasted garlic, mashed
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 Tbsp. finely chopped red peppers
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Arrange 30 crackers, with edges slightly overlapping, in 11-inch ring on pizza pan. Use remaining crackers to make second concentric ring, with edges of crackers overlapping, as shown in photo.
  3. Mix cream cheese spread, Parmesan and garlic in small microwaveable bowl until blended. Microwave on HIGH 30 to 35 sec. or just until softened; stir.
  4. Spoon down centers of crackers; sprinkle with mozzarella and peppers.
    Bake 6 to 8 min. or until mozzarella is melted. Sprinkle with parsley.
    To add a bow garnish, use fresh parsley sprigs and roasted red pepper strips to make a holiday bow on top of wreath just before serving.

Activities and Favors for a HOliday Pajama Party

For our Christmas pajama party, I decided to include a super simple DIY project (my personal calling card!) and wrap it into a gift for our guests — DIY pompom fuzzy slippers!

They couldn’t be easier: just grab a few different sizes and styles of slippers, and glue or sew on some fuzzy pompoms. Guests can keep their tootsies warm and I guarantee they’ll love the fun touch.

Here are some slippers and pompoms that would work perfectly!

We also set up a nail polish bar in case anybody’s digits needed a little love. Just grab a few holiday colors and set them up next to some other manicure tools.

Once all of your guests arrive to your Christmas pajama party, cozy up in your jammies, grab a cocktail and a snack and have a great night!

And if your crew doesn’t include a bunch of night owls, you could always put a daytime spin on the pajama party and gather for brunch to bake some holiday treats. Have a great shindig, party animals! xoxo
