If there's anything you need during the holiday season, it's an easy bring for a dinner party (gathering, celebration, hangout...whatever you want to call it) and that's exactly what this Christmas tree charcuterie is!
Made with ingredients you can easily grab from your local store and present in a welcoming and delicious way, it's a great way to celebrate the season, treat your family and friends to fresh charcuterie, and make presentation easy.
Here's the simple list of what you'll need:
What You'll Need for The Easiest Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
Technically, the first thing you'll need isn't even a charcuterie board, it's a serving tray. But overall, what you'll need specifically is up to you! You can use regular ingredients for a more casual crackers, meat, and cheese board or opt for more traditional charcuterie and include things like olives, fruits, spreads, and more.
At the very least, you'll need:
- An Artisan-Made Christmas Tree Hardwood Serving Tray
- 2-3 Types of Crackers
- 1-3 Types of Meat
- 3-4 Types of Cheeses
For the design, play around with the presentation of each food piece and remember that you're the toughest critic. What looks good to them may not look the best to you (but, luckily, the three-tier design of the Christmas Tree keeps your charcuterie on the design extremely well no matter what you do!!).
You could also try this Christmas Stocking Serving Tray or this Hardwood Christmas Present Four-Pocket Tray if Christmas trees aren't necessarily your favorite.
How to Help Your Charcuterie Rise to The Christmas Occasion
The key to any successful charcuterie is knowing your audience! What's an event or gathering where the food isn't good?
For Christmas, make sure you're bringing food others will eat too (even if it's slightly more adventurous than normal) or splurge a bit on higher-end charcuterie spreads if you know your friends will enjoy it.
Food sets the mood, and during the holiday season, even more so! Happy Holidays!
