Kettle Brand Chips asked 14 bloggers to create a recipe of their favorite holiday dip. My favorite holiday dip is guacamole; I could eat it with a spoon. But too much guacamole can be overpowering on the taste buds, especially at parties when you lose track of how much chips and dip you’ve eaten. Sour cream, on the other hand, has that smooth and clean flavor that lets you dip and dip and dip. I don’t usually like to do sponsored posts, but Kettle Brand Chips is a company I can really get behind. They’re dedicated to using natural ingredients without GMOs and their chips are gluten-free, too. They’re also just delicious; have you tried their Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper flavor? Incredible.
For this recipe I’ve added avocado to a fairly simple sour cream dip. It’s no hassle at all to throw together. The avocado adds a light green color and a rich texture. Even though they’re similar, using both onion powder and fresh chives helps to add layers to the flavor of the dip. I paired this with my favorite flavor of chip, Sea Salt and Vinegar. I think it goes perfectly with the tart flavor of vinegar because the chip lends flavor to the dip while the dip cools the chip down. It would also be incredibly good with any spicy flavor like Jalapeno or Spicy Thai™–anything with a strong saltiness to it. Since there’s very little acidity and seasoning in the dip itself, it’s important to use a chip that will bring that to the table. At the end of this post there’s also a giveaway so be sure to read through!

Hmm this is a tough question. I love me some guac and salsa! My family doesn’t really have a holiday specific dip, I guess.
spinach artichoke!
I live in Texas so I’m all about salsa! I know it’s not a “holiday dip” but I could eat it all day long.

This sounds fantastic! My favorite holiday dip is probably my mom’s famous pizza dip that she makes every New Year’s Eve. That or just good ol hummus 🙂
This dip sounds delicious! I like adding new dips to the holiday rotation!
My favorite is cream cheese-based hot dip with chopped tomatoes and chilis. The colors are perfect for the holidays and it is so warm and tasty.
fave holiday dip is spinach-artichoke with pita chips (:
right now my favorite holiday dip is this peppermint dip. It is a concentrated peppermint spread mixed with cool whip and you use graham crackers to dip. Sooo good!!!!
like you, my favorite is guac! i also like roasted red pepper cilantro hummus as a close second!
I love a nice sundried tomato dip for any occasion 🙂
My favorite dip is a hot homemade salsa

I am a huge fan of spinach artichoke dip, and I totally have to try this dip because guac and sour cream both rock.
Favorite holiday dip, eh? I always like to try new things, but like to make the garlicky cucumber cashew dip from Veganomicon for parties.
I love creamy artichoke and cheese dips 🙂
One of my favorites is a block of cream cheese, sprinkled with garlic salt, and topped with sliced green onions. Best if flavors meld for at least a couple of hours. I like it served with crackers such as wheat thins or triscuits. It is also wonderful warmed in the microwave so the cheese melts.
I’m pretty boring in that my favorite holiday dip is hummus. But sometimes I make this baked cheesy dip with sliced almonds on top to change it up a little. 🙂
I love my mom’s chicken enchilada dip – it’s incredible!
My favorite is 7 layer taco dip. It makes me 7 sizes bigger when I eat it but it’s worth it.
I’ve always been a sucker for those soft cheese balls covered in flakes of almond. Yum!

I make one with cream cheese and chipped beef.
I love to melt some caramel, and use it to dip fruits. Also…cream cheese, mixed with minced red and yellow peppers and green onion. So festive, and a nice alternative to the same old crudite dip.
I have a few favorite homemade dips. One is similar to yours, but more gaucy. I use sour cream, avocado, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, finely chopped onions and celery, and dash of hot sauce. Sometimes I revert back to my childhood days and throw together some Miracle whip, mustard and relish.
Sour cream and dill weed are a good mix too. You have to let it set for about an hour to let the flavor mix good.
