Create a holiday charcuterie board that’s simple, stunning, and packed with Christmas spirit. This guide shows you how to use easy-to-find ingredients and festive accents to build a beautiful spread that looks impressive but comes together effortlessly. It’s perfect for any gathering and is all about adding warmth, flavor, and a touch of seasonal magic to your table.
Unwrap your brie and cut it in half. Take one half and cut it into triangles. With the other half, use a small cookie cutter to cut out stars.
Using the package of ham, fold each piece in half then fold like accordian. Place two folded pieces on one toothpick. Repeat with the remaining ham.
Using the package of salami, fold one piece in half and then it roll up. Place two more folded pieces around the initial rolled-up salami. This will look like a flower or rose. Repeat with the remaining salami.
Place the fresh dill on your large round platter in a wreath shape (large circle, then small circle).
Place the berries and green grapes on the dill and then fill in with the prepared meat.
Add in the cheese cubes, brie triangles, and brie stars.
Fill in with the olives and cutie oranges.
Add in sprigs of fresh sage around the wreath.
Finally, carefully add in assorted crackers around the circumference of the wreath.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Separate Components After Serving: Store leftover items individually. Cheeses, meats, fruits, and spreads can go in separate airtight containers to maintain their quality. Crackers should be stored at room temperature to stay crisp.
Wrap Cheese Well: Re-wrap cheeses in wax or parchment paper, then place them in airtight containers to keep them from drying out or absorbing fridge odors.
Consume Within 3-4 Days: Meats and cheeses are best when eaten within a couple of days. Fruits can usually last a bit longer, though some may lose texture.
