Main Course Marvels: A Royal Spread
The main course is the heart of any meal, and with a Frozen party, it’s your chance to really bring the theme to life. Let’s start with some ideas that are both delicious and visually stunning:
Picture this: guests are ready to eat and the centerpiece of the buffet is a mountain of magical snow… Well not exactly, but almost!
Elsa’s Ice Castle Sandwiches
These sandwiches aren’t just tasty; they’re a visual masterpiece!
Begin by selecting a bread of choice, maybe a soft white bread or even some crusty sourdough.
Using a cookie cutter in the shape of a snowflake or even the iconic ice castle, cut out sandwich shapes.
Consider varying the fillings for different tastes and dietary needs. You can make it even more exciting, offering:
– Classic fillings such as cheese and ham for some, or a more adventurous chicken and pesto sandwich for others.
– For vegetarians, offer cheese and tomato, or maybe even a more exotic mushroom and brie combination.
Once the sandwiches are assembled, present them on a large platter. To enhance the “ice castle” effect, consider sprinkling some coconut flakes or powdered sugar around the base to mimic snow.
With a little imagination, even sandwiches can become an integral part of the theme.
Olaf’s Carrot Sticks and Dip
A healthy and fun addition to the party!
Everyone’s favorite snowman, Olaf, deserves a spot on the menu.

Arrange the carrot sticks to resemble Olaf’s arms and legs, and use them as a side dish.
For the “body” of Olaf, provide a variety of dips. You can offer:
– Ranch dip for a classic touch.
– Hummus for a healthy alternative.
– Or even offer a sweet dip, such as a fruit yogurt dip.
This is a simple, fun, and healthy snack that all the guests, both big and small, are going to love.
Arendelle Pizza
A pizza party is a great way to feed hungry guests, and even pizza can be themed!
Prepare or order your favorite pizza dough.
The real magic happens with the toppings:
– Use a white pizza base (made without tomato sauce) to achieve a snowy appearance.
– Arrange toppings to create a “frozen” scene.
– Use blue cheese and mozzarella cheese for a frosty look.
– Add pepperoni and other toppings in creative ways to make them resemble the movie’s characters and scenery.
This will give everyone a sense of joy as they eat. It’s all about the presentation. With a little imagination, you can turn a simple pizza into a delicious and thematic masterpiece.
