According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Super Bowl Sunday is America’s “second-largest food consumption day.” (Only Thanksgiving Day beats it.)
Game Day Vibes: This Year’s Contenders
This year, The Big Game pits the Kansas City Chiefs against the Philadelphia Eagles, and it’s bound to be a showdown for the ages. With MVP-worthy performances from Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will the Chiefs bring home the Lombardi Trophy for the third year in a row, or will the Eagles claim victory under the bright lights of the Superdome?




Hosting a Super Bowl Party? Here’s How to Do It Right!
Last year, since the 49ers were playing, my husband and I literally made a game time decision to fly out to Vegas for the game. It was one for the books!







If you’re watching from home this year like us, make sure your game-day setup is top-notch. From delicious snacks (hello, loaded nachos and wings!) to fun football-themed decor, set the scene for an unforgettable watch party. Pro tip: Add a friendly competition by having guests predict the final score or vote on their favorite commercials!

Make It A Game to Remember
How to Host the Ultimate Game Day Party
First, set the tone with football-themed decorations. When it comes to the the big game, I like to say “go big or go home!” The best part is that you can pull together a great theme without spending a lot of time or money! Even the dollar store will have fantastic items to transform your home into the gridiron for a game day party.
You can even incorporate your team colors into your decor! Whether your favorite team is playing or not, you’ve got to get geared up! Throw on your favorite hats, jerseys, or even socks to really get into the spirit!
Peyton Manning is the only starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl with two different teams: the Indianapolis Colts in 2007 and the Denver Broncos in 2016.
You can use balloons, pennants, and streamers to add a festive touch. Create a DIY photo booth with football-themed props like mini footballs, helmets, or referee whistles. These can also be fun party favors! Use your team’s colors and encourage everyone to take memorable photos. Remember, sometimes less is more. Let the game and the company of good friends be the highlight of the day.



Fun Ideas For Game Day Sunday
One of the best ways to enjoy a day of football is to actually get out and play! If the weather allows, take your brood outside and toss around the pigskin for a little while. This is a great option for a pregame activity because fans of all ages (no tackling!) can get involved. Besides, a little preemptive calorie burn is always a good thing, right?

The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots each have six Super Bowl victories—the most of any team. The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers each have five wins.



What To Serve
Snacks are a must! Game Day food can be anything from healthy recipes to classics like cheesy dips and potato chips.
All of that friendly competition will probably work up everyone’s appetites, so be sure to have some finger foods and appetizers ready during the pregame activities, too. Set out an assortment of goodies for different dietary needs—from crudités to tortilla chips and salsa—for everyone to snack on while they debate whether the national anthem singer lip-synched or performed live. An easy appetizer is key to get in the middle of those heated debates, .


Save your heartiest offerings for halftime, though! People will be debating the action from the first half of the game, critiquing the halftime show, and rewinding the crazy commercials, so bring out a couple of slow cookers of chili (one meat and one vegetarian), some hot buffalo wings with blue cheese dressing, and my favorite veggie-friendly alternative, Sriracha-Buffalo Cauliflower Bites to make sure everyone is ready for the second half action!

In Las Vegas, more than $115 million is (legally) bet on the Super Bowl every year.
Of course, you can always go with a few other classics game day snack, like plain chicken wings, buffalo chicken dip made with a rotisserie chicken or hot dogs and french fries. A big pot of chili will take those dogs to the next level.



Don’t Skip theDesserts
Cap off the night of entertaining with a dessert bar where everyone can cover a (super) bowl of ice cream or frozen yogurt with delicious toppings, grab a brownie, or even sneak a cookie or two. Don’t forget to include some gluten-free and vegan options so that everyone can dig in!
Even if you’re not big on sweets, this can really take the sting out if your team loses! And let’s not forget to decorate the soft drinks. Adding some fun themed merch is always a hit!
