I love the simplicity of a charcuterie board any time of the year and they are especially festive during the holidays. If you love a unique Christmas charcuterie board, you are in for a treat because I’ve gathered together a dozen of the most unique ones! Some aren’t even boards … you’ll find creative uses for boxes, plastic cups and even the most adorable snow globe charcuteries (but the last idea is the cutest). Let’s graze!
Santa put Petal and Platter on the nice list for creating his likeness in cheese and meat! Brie cheese is the perfect soft cheese for carving out a little Santa face complete with snowy white mustache and hat topped with strawberries.
