If there is one thing I love, you all know by now it’s throwing a good party! I love the littlest details to come together from the food to the decor. For our annual family Christmas party, I’m bringing this adorable Christmas Appetizer Recipe. It’s so simple to put together and it tastes great.
Christmas Pinwheels Recipe
These pinwheels need very little culinary skill, which is always a plus when you’re putting together finger food for a crowd. In order to create the Christmas tree shape, you’ll need a tray large enough to allow for various rows of the tree in alternating colors of green {jalapeno} and orange {tomato} pinwheels.

You could even order some from your grocery store deli – although I would request green tortilla wraps so that when you lay these babies out in a triangle (like above), it will actually look like a legit Christmas tree!
