Creating a Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board is straightforward. Follow these steps to assemble your festive masterpiece:

1. Choose Your Board: Select a large wooden board or platter as your base.
2. Create the Tree Shape: Using the cheeses, arrange them into a triangular shape to form the outline of a Christmas tree.
3. Layer the Meats: Place cured meats around the cheese, fanning them out to create a decorative border.
4. Add the Fruits: Fill in gaps with fresh fruits. Use grapes and berries for color and texture.
5. Scatter the Nuts: Add a handful of nuts throughout the board for crunch and added flavor.
6. Include Olives: Place small bowls of olives at the base of the tree to serve as “ornaments.”
7. Add Crackers: Arrange crackers along the sides for dipping and pairing with cheeses.
8. Garnish With Herbs: Use fresh herbs to decorate the top of the tree and add a festive touch.
9. Optional Edible Flowers: For an extra pop of color, consider adding edible flowers around the board.
10. Serve Dips: Place small bowls of dips on the board for guests to enjoy.
