After searching the worldwide web to see if such a theme existed, we found some parties that were based around complete dinners – with cooked poultry delicacies as the main course. Since we didn’t want to go that route, we opted for a “snack food feast” – easy breezy for party planners, with little to no prep prior to party time! Perfect for adults and children!!

Included in this post is the “12 Days of Christmas” template design {available HERE and HERE}, as well as the swan template seen on Day 7 {image courtesy of phillipmartin.info}. Download at will, and use these images for an upcoming party of your choosing…. Just another way of making it easier for you!!

So, how about we get this party started?!?! Did you know that SIX of the twelve mentioned gifts are bird related?!?!?!  That made it quite hard for our creative juices to overcome the challenge. That said, some of these song-based foods are a s.t.r.e.t.c.h {at best}. So, if you want to take the theme a bit further, feel free to make a game of it with your guests – you know, match the food to the song….and the one with the most matches gets to go first in line, wins a prize, etc.

Also, in our brainstorming, we came up with several ‘alternative suggestions’ that we will include as we present “The 12 Days of Christmas Party.”

Day 1: Partridge in a Pear Tree {sliced pears}

If you have another option for party food based on the “12 Days of Christmas,” feel free to share in the comment section – the more ideas the merrier!

Finally, if you are looking for some awesome “12 Days of Christmas” tunes to continue the party theme – we prefer the traditional song, followed by an uptempo, modernized version by Relient K….it adds an element of surprise to the tried-and-true….
