These NEW Hillshire® Snacking Social Platters are perfect for the holiday season. They come in Genoa Salame & Prosciutto as well as Genoa Salame & Calabrese Salame varieties: they’re absolutely versatile and delicious. You see, the holiday party season has officially begun, now that Thanksgiving is behind us. In fact, over the weekend we had the annual party at my parents’ farm. That’s always such an occasion. Decorations, snack platters, and horses in the paddock. Can’t beat that!

It was the first time in a few years that we made it to one of their “famous” parties. Maybe I should say infamous, because they generally end with my dad blasting rock music as loud as it can possibly get – until it doesn’t sound like music anymore – and then the generation above me (and below me) rocks themselves to sleep. It rocks, so to speak, and I’m happy to say that after all this time, my parents still party like the best of them! It starts with snacking platters, I always say.

YUM! Dried cranberries and cherries, sea salt toasted rounds, white cheddar cheese, Genoa Salame, and Calabrese Salame! Honestly, what a festive and fun combination, and I would easily eat them year-round too. It’s the perfect appetizer for all get-togethers this holiday season. I love that it’s quick & easy to prepare. In fact, that’s one of the fun parts!

Here are some things I love about these snacking platters. I love that it’s NEW so my party guests can be intrigued and excited about it. I love that it’s a chef-curated snack spread that is made with unique flavor combinations and premium, quality ingredients. And I love that it’s an all-in-one offering with FIVE awesome ingredients. Plus, the flip and serve!

Magic! You can find these NEW Hillshire Snacking Social Platters at your local Ahold store! Our local Stop & Shop had them in the refrigerated deli section near the party platters. They were quite easy to find.

Obviously, I wouldn’t serve without sampling! The first one I tried was the Calabrese Salame and it had more of a kick than the Genoa Salame. I like to put the salame on the toasted round, then the cheese, and then the dried fruit last.

I already bought a new snacking platter to take to my husband’s work party. And I can think of many more occasions that we’d use these for. Holiday book club meetings. Ladies night where we play card games and enjoy snacks together. My parents’ awesome holiday party, of course. The school holiday feast, in which appetizers are always sorely lacking! And also, just to have in the fridge for whatever the season throws your way or even an afternoon snack. You may have unexpected guests, or even overnight guests! Maybe you’ll have a friend over for coffee or tea, and want something super stylish and tasty to serve.

Whatever the reason for the season, and the reason to be with loved ones, the Hillshire Snacking Social Platter will take away all of the stress of preparing and serving, and will add all of the flavor to your holiday season.
