When it comes to ringing in the new year, we're all in favor of doing it in style! Start by getting dressed up, pouring a New Year's Eve drink, and serving a few elegant New Year's Eve appetizers. You and your guests might even opt for a fancy sit-down New Year's Eve dinner filled with New Year's good luck foods before the clock strikes midnight. But even if you just serve an array of snacks, finger foods, and party dips, you'll want to make sure you have enough to last as long as the night ahead. That's why we've rounded up the best New Year's Eve appetizers to make your final meal of 2022 one to remember.

Here, you'll find tons of party appetizers, including Ree Drummond's garlic-ranch party mix, shrimp cocktail, sausage rolls, and the easiest (and cheesiest) baked brie recipe—it's perfect for serving alongside your champagne cocktails. You can opt for a healthy appetizer, like smoked salmon dip with veggie sticks, or take the comfort food route with chicken and waffle sliders and cocktail meatballs. You can even make sure your kids have something to snack on throughout the night by serving fried mac and cheese bites and homemade pizza rolls.
