Ree Drummond is hosting a Christmas cocktail party for a large group of good friends, with a tight time frame of just three hours. This festive and fabulous spread is filled with bites that are easy to prep ahead of time. 

These easy-to-make roll-ups can be made and stored in the fridge until party time. They are filled with a blend of cream cheese, ranch dressing mix and black pepper. 

Ree gets into festive colors with these skewers that are all about the assembly: store-bought spinach tortellini, fresh mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. For a little extra flavor, drizzle on an easy pesto-packed vinaigrette dressing. 

Ree makes this four-ingredient dip with large hunks of white blanco-style cheese, diced red chiles and tomatoes, along with jalapenos to amp up the spice factor and give a bit of green color. Once the cheese is melted, it's ready to serve with tortilla chips.
