Yield: 12 sliders
Temp: No bake
Time: 10 minutes

Key Ingredients First:

  • Slider buns
  • Roast beef slices
  • Cheese slices (optional)

Ingredients

  • 12 slider buns
  • 12–18 slices deli roast beef
  • 6–12 slices cheddar, provolone, or American cheese (optional)
  • 24 mini pretzels (for antlers)
  • 12 red candy pieces (M&M’s or similar) for noses
  • 24 candy eyes
  • A little mayonnaise or cream cheese (for sticking decorations)

Instructions

  1. Assemble the Sliders
    Open each slider bun and layer with roast beef and cheese. This simple build makes them perfect for quick holiday appetizers and no-cook Christmas snacks.
  2. Close & Decorate
    Close the buns and place them on a serving tray. Press two mini pretzels into the top of each bun to create reindeer antlers.
  3. Add the Faces
    Use a dot of mayo or cream cheese to attach two candy eyes to the front of each bun.
    Add a red candy nose right below the eyes to turn each slider into Rudolph.
  4. Serve Immediately
    Enjoy as a festive platter for parties, potlucks, or family gatherings.

Serving Ideas

  • Add a platter of veggies and dips for a full snack board.
  • Serve warm by briefly heating the meat and cheese before assembling.
  • Pair with cranberry mayo or horseradish sauce for extra flavor.

These sliders fit perfectly into searches for cute Christmas food ideas, easy holiday party trays, and fun festive recipes everyone can make in minutes.

Tips

  • Warm the beef slightly so the cheese softens naturally.
  • Use small pretzel twists — they make the best antlers.
  • Add lettuce or pickles inside for extra crunch.
  • Assemble right before serving to keep pretzels crisp.
