Reindeer Lit’l Smokies Appetizer
We love this recipe because it’s perfect for the holidays, and delicous for any appetizer party. For a larger party, you may want to try our Little Smokies in a Blanket Charcuterie Board!
Don’t forget the ketchup and mustard for the eyes and mouth! And set out more mustard and ketchup in small bowls for dipping! You can buy our nesting bowls here.
Lit’l Smokies Appetizer Reindeer ingredients:
- Lit’l Smokies or Lit’l Wieners

How do you make reindeer out of Litl’ Smokies?
- Heat sausages or weiners according to package directions.
- Break a pretzel twist in half. Stick a pretzel half into both sides of sausage to resemble antlers.
- Use 2 small drops of mustard for eyes and a small drop of ketchup for the nose.
- Make a platter full and serve for your next party!
Do you like having people over for the holidays, but you’re scared to death to commit? It’s fun to have friends over when the stress level is low, and I’ve found that prepping for an easy appetizer party takes very little time, and that the casual feel makes everyone feel right at home for the holidays.

With an appetizer spread, create a drink station (with simple treats). We like to serve hot chocolate and soft drinks for the kids, and a wine station or eggnog mixed drinks for the adults.
Oh, and this delicious Easy Homemade Chili recipe is one of our new family-favorite recipes, if you want to serve a main dish with your appetizers.
Happy holidays!
