Saint Patrick’s Day Party Foods
This Saint Patrick’s Day Party Foods list is perfect for sharing with family and friends. From cookies to cupcakes to snacks and more, it’ll be hard to pick and choose what you want to start with. These tasty recipes are a must for your St. Patrick’s Day celebration!
Take it from me – you’ll want to make them all! They’re all festive, green, flavorful, lucky – and most of all – delicious!
I have a sweet tooth, especially for these yummy options. I also love the color green, so I literally love every simple recipe on this list.
And when it comes to holiday celebrations, who says you must pick and choose? I say make them all – and enjoy!
What are natural options for dying food green?
One of the most popular choices is spinach or kale powder—trust us, it adds a gorgeous green hue without altering the taste too much. Matcha powder is another rockstar, offering color and a subtle, earthy flavor (perfect for lattes, cakes, and ice creams!).
Looking for something milder? Try spirulina—it’s a nutrient-packed algae that works wonders in smoothies and frostings. Experiment with these, and watch your dishes come to life with color and natural goodness!

What are fun party decorations for St. Patrick’s Day?
Think green, gold, and shamrock galore when it comes to fun St. Patrick’s Day party decorations!
Start by stringing shamrock garlands across walls or ceilings for an instant festive vibe. Add leprechaun hats, glittery gold coins, and pots of “gold” (chocolate works) for table centerpieces to get everyone smiling.
Don’t forget balloons—go for green, white, and orange to channel the Irish flag. You can even set up a photo booth with funky props like oversized shamrock sunglasses, hats, or a rainbow backdrop.
And here’s a fun idea—create a DIY “lucky charm” station where your guests can make their own keepsakes.
As you can see, there are many ways to create a festive and fun St. Patrick’s Day party. The hardest part is narrowing down what you’re going to make!

Which of these party food ideas are you going to make first?
Linked up my Irish Soda Bread, made allergy friendly!
Thanks for the invite Kelli! I linked up my Rainbow Cake to go along with the other ones… and my Irish Coconut Mini Cakes.
I included two things in your links; thanks for the invitation. One is a Reuben sandwich although the best part of the recipe was curing and making my own corned beef; so superior to anything I’ve ever bought.
I also included a link to a cake I make every St. Patrick’s Day. A one layer cake that is drenched with a syrup made with coffee and Jameson’s Irish Whiskey.
Thanks again!
Thanks so much for playing, Barbara! I will get your additions pinned very soon. 🙂
I linked up Irish Brown Bread from an old coobook I found at the library, Malachi McCormick’s “Irish Country Cooking”. It’s pretty healthy, yummy, and is a soda bread not a yeast bread so it’s super easy, and I think it looks pretty too 🙂
I love your fun holiday recipe link-ups. Thanks for hosting them!
Thanks for the fun link party. My Irish Cream Cupcakes have a dark chocolate truffle surprise in the center and are also freezer friendly, so you can make them far in advance.
Linked up my St. Patrick’s Day Chocolate Bowls 🙂
