If you’re looking for the best snacks to make for Christmas this year, don’t underestimate the power of a festive holiday board.
A charcuterie platter is an elegant way to entertain, and you can customize it to fit any party. The best thing about a Christmas platter is that it can include just about anything from cookies and popcorn to meats and cheeses.
We’re sharing some of our favorite ideas for holiday spreads that are guaranteed to delight.
Christmas Dessert Charcuterie
Charcuterie is a fun word to say, but it’s even more fun to make! A dessert charcuterie board is one of the best snacks for a crowd, and it’s so simple to throw together. Start by selecting a custom slate cheese paddle to display your offering.
- Choose some fruit – Select seasonal fruit that stands out in color, such as strawberries, raspberries, grapes, or pomegranate seeds.
- Add pastries – Pastries are an essential part of a dessert charcuterie board. Choose a wide range of pastries that vary in texture and shape, such as:
- Brownies
- Waffle cookies
- Gingersnaps
- Orange cranberry scones
- Wafer cookies
- Chocolate-dipped pretzels
- Christmas tree sugar cookies
- Finish it off with Christmas candy – Christmas candy adds the finishing touch to a dessert charcuterie board. Keep things interesting with an array of colors and textures. Here are some excellent options to include:
- Candy canes
- Chocolate orange slices
- Peppermint bark
- Wrapped caramels
- Peppermints
- Chocolate nut clusters
- Truffles
Meat and Cheese Holiday Board
The perfect meat and cheese board starts with a high-quality cheese paddle. At Naag Tag, we offer an assortment of laser-engraved paddles that can be personalized for any occasion.
When choosing a board to display your spread, start by determining the size you’ll need. We offer a variety of shapes and sizes, from rectangles to large circles. You can even customize the orientation between horizontal and vertical.
- Pick a variety of meats and cheeses – Meat and cheese are the stars of this holiday spread. For cheese, get creative with a wide range of flavors and textures from hard to soft varieties. The finest meats are cured, and a cornucopia of flavors is ideal.
You’ll need a reliable way to slice your cheeses without distorting their shape. At Naag Tag, we offer a custom cheese cutter box set that comes with a cheese knife, shaver, fork, and spreader, as well as a cutting board that slides out from the side of the box.
- Add all the extras – No charcuterie board is complete with meat and cheese alone. Take your board to the next level with an array of crackers, bread, nuts, dried fruits, olives, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and dips.
