It’s that time of year again: when the weather starts to turn and the holidays come about! Below are some recipes that are great substitutes for traditional recipes for this time of year and enjoyable by all your guests! Although I have over 150 recipes on the site, these recipes are hand picked as they capture the holiday spirit and are absolutely guaranteed to satisfy all your guests.
You’ll find these keto holiday recipes split up into a few categories below:
Appetizers
Low-Carb Spinach Artichoke Dip
This naturally low-carb dip is a crowd favorite! Low-carbers can eat it with celery while everyone else eats it with chips or crackers. I recommend doubling up because it’s going to disappear fast!
Keto Buffalo Chicken Dip
This recipe… is.. so… dang… good. It’s great for meal prep, appetizers, as a meal, etc. And I highly highly recommend you double the recipe because it IS that good.

Sides
Keto Cheddar Bay Biscuits
These cheesy biscuits are a dead ringer for the Red Lobster biscuits that are hard to resist! Delicious and quick to make, these are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table – and the next day for breakfast!
Keto Cornbread

Keto Cauliflower Mash
A lot of people dislike cauliflower mash because it tastes too much like cauliflower. Not this one
But wait! There’s more!
Sides are fantastic and there’s a bunch more!
Desserts
Keto Ice Cream
Who doesn’t like ice cream?! This no fuss, mix and freeze recipe is straight forward and simple to make beforehand. The best part about it is that no one will ever know it’s keto friendly.
Keto Cheesecake
This classic cheesecake is pretty straight forward to make and 100% keto. The great thing about it is that it will be enjoyed by everyone. While the crust is not a classic graham cracker crust, but it does not disappoint!
Keto Glazed Pecans
You can eat these by themselves, BUT my preferred method is to put them on pies and ice cream. They’re just the right level of sweet and chewiness – downright amazing!
Low-Carb/Keto-ish Pumpkin Pie
This is an absolute classic holiday pie that cannot be refuted. However, the net carb count does come in a little higher as it uses pumpkin puree – but it’s still healthier than the real stuff. Coupled with some glazed pecans and whipped cream and you have a sure winner on your hands!

Adult Cocktails (e.g. Alcoholic)
Keto Moscow Mule
Easy, straight forward, and about as low-carb and keto friendly as you can get without drinking your vodka neat! Don’t have vodka? Make it a Kentucky Mule by simply substituting the vodka with bourbon!
Keto Eggnog
A classic staple of the holidays, this eggnog has two versions: one with eggs and one without eggs. Both, equally delicious and simple to make!
Low-Carb Espresso Martini
As the night grows long, you might need a cocktail with a little kick to get you up and moving again. This is the cocktail you want!
Irish Coffee
If you’re like me – caffeine does nothing to you. Make this a keto nightcap by simply swapping out the brown sugar with brown sugar Swerve of Sukrin Gold!
Ready to party?
Tequila, rum, whiskey, vodka, take your pick – these cocktails are all absolutely delicious and perfect for partying or even as a nightcap!
