I don’t know about you, but I can’t believe 2022 is over! The holiday season seemed to come up so quickly and now we’re ready to ring in 2023. If you’ve followed me for a while, it’s no secret that New Year’s Eve and Day are among my favorite celebrations – in addition to the significance of starting a new year, I just love the spirit of it — everyone is excited, hopeful and happy! So, I always have a New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day celebration in our home and of course for it, I’ve got an arsenal of Keto Friendly Appetizers and Cocktails that you and your guests will love and will never miss the sugar and carbs.
I actually hosted a little holiday cocktail party for some friends earlier this month – none of whom follow a low carb and keto-based lifestyle – however the whole menu featured keto friendly appetizers and literally my guests were shocked. Some of my friends have come to know and trust that my keto creations are delicious and satisfying, however even new friends almost couldn’t believe they were eating low carb and sugar-free appetizers and desserts — and cocktails!
I’ll have a new eBook coming out early next year focused on low carb entertaining with style, however since we have New Year’s Eve creeping up on us, I thought I’d share some of my favorite keto friendly appetizers and cocktails to ring in 2023 in delicious style!
Keto Friendly Appetizers for New Year’s Eve
Low Carb Crab-Stuffed Mushrooms
Keto stuffed mushrooms make for a great appetizer or small snack-style dinner, however traditional stuffed mushrooms use lots of breadcrumbs in the filling – you can eliminate them or substitute with pork rind crumbs. Either way, they're delicious!

Keto Jalapeno Poppers
Much like keto mozzarella sticks, keto jalapeno poppers are one of my favorite snacks either for myself or on weekends for the family. There's something about the fried and gooey goodness of both that are so comforting and satisfying. Usually, jalapeno poppers are breaded and fried – which makes them not so keto-friendly – but you can easily make them at home using some tried and true keto hacks and either pop the poppers in your air fryer or in the oven for spicy, crunchy, creamy goodness.
