Skillet Dip Snowman – Christmas Appetizer
Warm the hearts and fill the bellies of your family by serving a festive Christmas appetizer. When you pull this Skillet Dip Snowman out of the oven everyone will “ooh” and “ahh,” before ripping off pieces of salty bread so they can scoop up the creamy chicken dip in the middle.
Making cute Christmas appetizers can really enhance your guest’s experience, but I know many of you just don’t have a lot of time to devote to creating complicated edible crafts.
Well, this recipe is for you.
The hot chicken dip surrounded by a ring of salty dinner rolls can be whipped up in about 15 minutes, popped into the oven while you get ready for your guests to arrive, and decorated in a snap before they do.
NOTE: This holiday appetizer recipe was originally written and published at Christmastime in 2015. I realize many of my readers will not be celebrating the holidays with party guests in 2020, but I wanted to update this Christmas themed appetizer recipe because it makes a wonderful snack or meal to share with your immediate family.

To keep this recipe super simple, I used store-bought bread dough and a 5-ingredient chicken dip, then decorated it using a carrot and some black olives.
Being snowmen are white, I needed a dip that was white too.
Fortunately, my family’s favorite dip worked perfectly. It’s a hot chicken dip that’s simply made by blending together shredded chicken breast, cream cheese, Miracle Whip, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
Arrange bread dough in skillet.
- You must use a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet to make this dip. The handle of the skillet must be able to withstand high heat.
- To make the ring of salty bread, simply cut a tube of French Bread dough into 12 equal pieces.
- Roll the pieces into balls, pinching the seams together as needed then arrange them around the edge of the pan.
What else can I use?
- You can use a homemade pizza crust recipe instead if you prefer the flavor of homemade bread. Just roll the dough into balls and arrange them in the skillet. You can ever stuff some cheese inside the pizza crust if you like.
- You can also use store-bought tubes of pizza dough. It’s basically the same thing as the French Bread in a tube.
- If you have frozen dinner roll dough you can use that as well.
Chicken Dip
- Spoon the chicken dip in the center of the skillet and spread out so it touches the bread dough.
- Bake it until the bread is baked through for about 32-38 minutes.
- The dip will be slightly browned when you remove it from the oven. I wanted my dip to look white, so I stirred it up so that the browned bits get mixed in.
Decorate the Christmas Dip
- To decorate the snowman you’ll need two whole extra-large olives, one small tip of a carrot for the nose, and 7 small round pieces of olive for the snowman’s smile. You can cut the olives using a round plunger cutter or simply slice off round pieces from the sides of the olives.
- Add the decorations to the top of the dip and serve while it’s hot.
