“It’s the most wonderful time of the year.” Yep, I”m humming that as I write this post. I’ve got yummy desserts on my mind and party planning! How about you? It’s approaching very quickly, so let’s have a little chat, shall we? Holiday Office Potlucks. I think we’ve all been a part of those fun gatherings with huge spread of a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Right? Today, I’m going to share some fun ideas for Office Potluck themes — and a recipe for Holiday Cheesecake Presents (and that’s exactly what they are, delicious presents for your co-workers taste buds)!
Each bite is a delight! Add a little holiday color with food gels too…
Holiday Cheesecake Presents
Ingredients
- 10 Honey Maid Honey Grahams finely crushed (about 1-1/2 cups crumbs)

- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 3 eggs
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350.
-
Mix graham crumbs, butter and 3 Tbsp, sugar; press onto bottom of 13x9-inch pan.
-
Beat cream cheese, 3/4 cup sugar and vanilla with mixer until well blended. Add eggs; mix just until blended. Pour over crust.
-
Bake 30 minutest or until center is almost set. Cool. Refrigerate 3 hours. Cut into bars or squares. Decorate with gels and sprinkles to resemble presents.
Recipe Notes
To easily remove bars from pan, line pan with foil before pressing crumb mixture onto bottom of pan.
Now that we have a delicious in our back pocket, let’s talk about Office Potlucks. What’s an Office Potluck without a theme? Of course you could say you’re hosting a Christmas Potluck, but why not spice it up a bit and think a little outside the box when planning? I thought I’d share a few fun Office Potluck Theme Ideas, good for any season! Before you officially start to plan the potluck, let’s come up with a theme:
1) Southern Christmas BBQ Potluck. From pork, chicken and ribs to baked beans, potato salad and cole slaw, this will have everybody saying, “Y’all, this is some good stuff.”
2) Soup Potluck. A perfect potluck as the cooler temps roll in! You might even consider a Chili Cook-Off too.
3) Alphabet Soup Potluck. No, it’s no literally soup {giggle}. Pick a letter from the alphabet and every one will bring things that start with that letter (i.e. Pick the letter S and you’ll have foods like Spaghetti, Soup, Salads, Seasoned Fries, Sandwiches, and more).
4) How about Breakfast for Lunch or Breakfast for Dinner Potluck? Bring on the bacon and eggs!
5) Finger Food Potluck. Chicken wings, mini burgers, stuffed mushrooms, cheese sticks and don’t forget cookies and cheesecake bars!
6) Taste of Home Potluck. Have everyone bring a dish that reminds them of comfort food from home. This will also be a great conversation starter too!
7) All One Color Potluck. Have a black and white theme. All green foods, anyone? How about all red? Oh, the possibilities!
Hmmm, maybe I need to plan one of these soon {smile}.
So, what do you think? Ready to do a little party planning?
