We love the holidays, some days more than others… we can’t lie! So, if you’re invited for a holiday get-together or hosting an impromptu party at home, this cranberry dip is quick to make, and a nice sweet surprise for your taste buds.

You can make this dip using cream cheese, but you could also add some whipped mascarpone cheese and it would be a bit lighter than the ones in the pictures. Remember, you can always play around these recipes you see here. For example, we’re using raspberries ass an add-in, but you could easily use strawberries or blueberries.

Also, don’t forget about the nuts. We opted for a mixed combination, that not only was it roasted, but had a touch of salt so it brought a good balance to the sweetness of the dip. To serve, you can do it with slightly salted crackers and breadsticks, along with some seltzer water with some orange and raspberries.
