If you're looking for other finger foods to go with your charcuterie board, there are lots of options! Meatballs with toothpicks, Coconut Shrimp , Puff Pastry Brie Bites , or Goat Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates .

What do you put on a Christmas Charcuterie Board?

You can use a selection of cheese, cured meats (like salami or prosciutto), fruit like grapes, roasted nuts, and more. To make it festive for the holiday, you can arrange your board in the shape of a Christmas tree.

What kind of jelly or jam goes on a charcuterie board?

If you want to add a spread to your board, some great flavors are a fig spread, apricot jam, or raspberry jam works well too.

How much cheese should I have per person on a charcuterie board?

The size of the board will depend on how many people are attending your party and what other food options there are. But a good rule of thumb is to have about 2 ounces of cheese per person. If you don't have any other snack options at the party, then you will want more and if you are serving other food then guests may eat a little bit less. If you don't have a board large enough, you can either refill throughout the night or make several smaller boards.

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients - If you're adding fruit to the board, rinse and dry well. Cut up the cheese into varying shapes like cubes and slices or triangles.
Assemble Tree - I find it easiest to start at the bottom of the tree and work your way up. Each row will be slightly less wide than the one below so you get the triangle tree shape. I like to order my ingredients so that like colors are not placed next to each other - contrasting colors and shapes is key!
Add Garnishes - If using, add a few pretzel sticks for the tree trunk, add a cheese star at the top and around the tree, and garnish with some fresh rosemary.

Notes

Amount: The amounts listed are what I used to make my board, but you can easily adjust up or down based on how big of a tree you are making

Types of Cheese/Meat Used: Listed is what I used to make my board, but you can swap in other cheeses and meat.
