Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Whether you’re single this V-Day or just want an excuse to get together with all of the amazing women in your life, a Galentine’s Day party is the perfect way to spread love this upcoming holiday. Of course, every good host knows that no party is complete without delicious food. If you’re hosting a Galentine’s party this year, this is the ultimate guide to the perfect menu for any host (thank me later). After all, what says Valentine’s Day like treating yourself to heart-shaped foods? Here are 5 essentials to add to your Galentine’s Day!
- Chick-Fil-A Heart Tray
-
The CFA signature heart-shaped trays of chicken nuggets, Chick-n-Mini sandwiches, and delicious desserts are the most essential treat for any Galentine’s. What’s there to not love about hearts, chicken nuggets, brownies, and cookies?
- Heart-Shaped Donuts
-
What’s a more iconic V-Day treat than Dunkin’ Donuts’ iconic donuts? The Brownie Batter and Cupid’s Choice donuts are undoubtedly fan-favorites. Dunkin’ even has pink-and-red sprinkle munchkins for the festive season, making these desserts a *must* for a Galentine’s party.
- Red Velvet Cake
-
Dairy Queen’s Cupid Cake has made its return for the 2025 season. The cake consists of red velvet cake pieces, cream cheese frosting, and vanilla soft-serve ice cream. The Cupid Cake and Red Velvet Cake Blizzard at DQ are the *perfect* sweet treats for a Galentine’s party.
- Heart-Shaped Pasta
-
Barilla has a limited-edition heart-shaped pasta for this V-Day. Add some pasta sauce of your choice (I personally believe vodka sauce is perfect for V-Day) and have a pasta party with your fav girls.
- Shirley Temple
-
What beverage is more beloved than the classic Shirley Temple? Make a pitcher of Shirley Temples (simply by mixing together Ginger Ale, grenadine, and maraschino cherries) and pour it into your glass of choice (preferably red or pink for obvious reasons).
Ta-da! There you have it – all of the essentials for a successful Galentine’s Day Party (and don’t forget that digital camera!)
