I love the holiday season, don’t you? All the delicious food and fun activities are just the best. Making memories and enjoying the magic this time of year has to offer is so wonderful! I always want to make the season last as long as possible. I admit to being an early Christmas decorator and I’m not ashamed. 🙂 The tree goes up before Thanksgiving and that’s when the Christmas movies start playing. I start the gift shopping in October and try to finish before mid December so I can really enjoy the season to the fullest and keep the chaos and stress to a minimum.
I love to spend any spare time I have in the kitchen making tasty dishes like today’s incredible Warm Chicken Bacon Ranch Dip.
This dip is nothing short of spectacular, thanks to Litehouse Homestyle Ranch and Litehouse Freeze Dried Chives. These are such versatile ingredients and great for keeping on-hand for whipping up appetizers or snacks in a snap. Litehouse Homestyle Ranch has an unbeatable taste and is key in creating this ultimate holiday appetizer!
Litehouse Freeze Dried Chives really enhance the flavor and marry effortlessly with the Litehouse Homestyle Ranch, cheese, chicken and bacon. I know you’re going to go crazy for this dip! Just a word to the wise, you probably need to make a double batch, because this will disappear in a hurry! You’ll be required to bring it to every party from here on out. 🙂
For dippers, the sky’s the limit, but we enjoyed the baby carrots, broccoli and crostini. Crostini is so easy to make by simply brushing olive oil onto thin baguette slices, then baking until they’re crispy. Mushrooms, cauliflower, asparagus, bell peppers and croutons are also great ideas for dippers.
This would be perfect for a family Christmas movie night! Set out some fun dippers and let everyone go to town while enjoying the festive film.

Our family has a tradition of watching Christmas movies together on many nights throughout December. We love the classics that my husband and I grew up viewing during our childhood. It’s so fun to share them with our kids and experience the magic of Christmastime through our children’s eyes. I personally believe that you cannot have a family movie night without the snacks! This Warm Chicken Bacon Ranch is on the docket for our next family movie night!
