How to Make a Christmas Charcuterie Board

Here's a simple guide on how to make your own Christmas Charcuterie Platter this Christmas:

Find a Board

Choose the size of the board based on the number of guests you're serving. A smaller one is good for two, while for a big party, you will need a larger board. Select a flat, large, wooden cutting board or you can even use a large platter, or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  

Plan a Design

You can plan out your design, since it's a Christmas platter, you can make a Christmas tree or wreath design. 

Select your Ingredients

Any snacking charcuterie board or platter should be well balanced with both sweet and savory appetizers. You must make sure to include these few categories on your board - cheese, crackers, cured meats, mixed fruits, nuts, savory items, sauces and dips, and sweets. You can include 2-3 types of each category so that your guests have plenty of options to choose from. This will also make your board visually appealing. 

Arrange the Ingredients/Items

• Place the Cheeses. Make sure to put the different types of each one on each end or corners.
• Add the fruits. Just like the cheese, make sure to put each type in every corner.
• Add the Crackers. Make sure to add on every corner of the board.
• Add the Sweets. Make sure to distribute sweets like candies and chocolates in every corner accordingly. 
• Add the Nuts and Crackers. Still make sure to add them evenly no matter how many types you have in every corner.
• Add the Meat Last. The meats are the last ones so that you can arrange them however you like. You can simply fold each in half and insert them in between each ingredient. You can also make each slice into rosettes or arrange them fluffily. 
• Add Sauces and Dips. You can pace them at the center of the board. Make sure you have all the sauces and dips you need for each category. 
• Final Touch. Check all your ingredients, make sure everything looks good and delicious. Serve your Christmas Charcuterie Board with your favorite bottle of wine.

Don't stress out! A great charcuterie board is packed with delicious appetizers that everyone loves. There are really no rules. Just make sure to keep the Christmas colors, red, green, and white.
