Christmas Feast-ival

The festive season is here! Businesses are locking in venues, end-of-year drinks are in full swing, and the demand for sensational snacks is peaking. And, if there’s one thing we all know, it’s this—no one wants to be remembered for a boring snack spread.

Chefs, this is your chance to turn ordinary bites into the talk of the party! Enter the ultimate crowd-pleaser: delicious snack platters. With some playful twists, you can create spreads that are more memorable than the office Secret Santa gifts.

For the ultimate luxe vibe, nothing beats a seafood platter. Start with crisp, golden Battered Prawn Pops that are practically begging to be dipped in chipotle aioli. Add flaky, tender Battered Australian Hoki Bites paired with a wedge of lemon—nostalgic but a little bit fancy. Balance the seafood with crunchy, Edgell Oval Hashbrowns and delicious dips. And, of course, no festive platter is complete without a pile of seasoned Edgell Supa Crunch 10mm Ultrafast Chips. Try smoked paprika or rosemary salt for a seasonal twist. This mix of flavours and textures will have guests abandoning their cocktails to grab just "one more bite" (again and again).

The Antipasto Glow-Up

With a cheeky snack and drink with friends high on everyone’s end-of-year agenda, now is the perfect time to maximise one of the most profitable items on your menu – chips. Serve up some chunky Beer Battered Bad Boys Chips or mix up your offerings by adding delicious Sidewinder Chips, filling Seasoned Wedges, or crunchy Potato Gems.

You can even make Edgell Sweet Potato Chips the star of a fancy antipasto platter. Surround the chips with classic accompaniments like marinated olives, cured meats, and smoky sun-dried tomatoes. Add a selection of bold cheeses—Gruyère, aged cheddar, or a creamy Brie—and complete the feast with crisp breadsticks or crostini.

Amp up the vibes

Looking to add more of a festival feel to your end-of-year celebrations? Enter Guacamole Soft Shell Tacos—a vibrant option that turns any gathering into a fiesta of flavours. Using Edgell Guacamole as the hero ingredient, you can easily create three unique tacos your guests will love:

Crispy Fish Tacos

Fill warm soft tortillas with Edgell Guacamole, a fresh salsa made from Edgell Corn Kernels, Edgell Black Beans, juicy tomato, and red onion, and finish it off with golden I&J Crispy Battered Flathead Fish Bites. Add a squeeze of lime and watch these tacos fly off the platter.

Plant-Based Mince Tacos

Combine Edgell Plant Based Mince with taco seasoning for a meat-free option that doesn’t skimp on flavour. Pair the mince with Edgell Guacamole, diced tomato, crisp lettuce, and your favourite soft tortillas. These are perfect for vegan diners or anyone looking to lighten things up.

Pulled Pork Tacos

For a rich, indulgent twist, pair slow-cooked pulled pork with a zesty slaw of cabbage mixed in smoky chipotle mayo. Add a dollop of Edgell Guacamole for creamy goodness and serve in tortillas. These tacos are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

These tacos are more than just a menu item—they’re a conversation starter! Create your own taco station or pre-assemble them; either way, they’ll add excitement and flavour to your festive celebrations.

Make Your Festive Spread Unforgettable

This Christmas, don’t settle for boring. Go all in with creative platters (and tacos!) that spread holiday cheer, one bite at a time!
