The holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start planning your festive dinners! A charcuterie board is the perfect aesthetically pleasing appetizer for any holiday gathering. With its endless possibilities and gorgeous presentation, it’s no wonder why charcuterie boards have become such a popular choice for dinner party hosts. In this post, I’ll share some festive charcuterie boards I created last Christmas to inspire your holiday spread.

The Christmas Wreath

Tip: Start with laying the rosemary and flowers on the outer ends, place the middle brie and salami flower, place the burrata and mozzarella balls, then work your way to the outer ends.

Ingredients:

  • Truffle burrata

  • Mozzarella balls

  • Red grapes

  • Cherry tomatoes

  • Yellow baby tomatoes

  • Olives

  • Blackberries

  • Rosemary

  • Brie (middle one)

  • Various cheese (even Miyoko’s vegan)

  • Strawberries

  • Salami (small and large)

  • Prosciutto

  • Babys breath flowers

  • Tete de Moine (the flower looking cheese :))

The Christmas Tree (and Snowman)

This one I’m less proud of as I just quickly put it together using all of the leftovers from the previous wreath board, but there are many Christmas shapes you can play around with using the ingredients listed above!
