“Now, Dasher! Dancer! Now Prancer and Vixen! On, Comet! Cupid! On, Donner and Blitzen!“
*THUMP* *CRASH* *JINGLE* What’s that commotion?! It’s Santa Claus, racing down the chimney to get a bite of the world’s most delicious holiday spread! 

The most delightful holiday Christmas spread.

What is a charcuterie board

“Charcuterie” is a French term for a branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat, and a charcuterie board is a board most often consisting of a variety of meats and cheeses, and fruits or nuts; essentially a meat and cheese board.
 
So when I call this a holiday “charcuterie” board, we are using the term lightly. What I want to call it is a Holiday Olio Board.
 
“Olio” means a miscellaneous collection of delightful things.
 
Isn’t that perfect? All things on this board are so completely “delightful” and it seemed just right to collect them all together for celebrating this season.

How to Holiday Treat Board

Christmas Dessert Board

When it comes to the holidays, it’s a time of family and togetherness. But also a time of go, go, going. Sometimes there’s just not enough time to cook fruit cakes for all events (plus let’s be honest: no one really likes fruit cake!)… If you know me, then you know I bring trays to all events. Why?
  • They look beautiful and like they take a lot of work- but actually, 
  • Trays take minimal work with maximum results. And they give,
  • Variety: there is something for everyone! Plus,
  • A good tray is easy to theme, (ie: If it’s halloween you just add fake spiders. Thanksgiving, accessorize the board with some mini pumpkins. Easter, consider live edible flowers.)

Items to include on a holiday dessert tray

Y’all this beauty took me five minutes to assemble (see the tutorial video below). The dipping of the pretzel rods took another five but I feel like they were totally worth it.  I included my favorite classic favorites because they are ones everyone will love.
  • Milano® Double Milk Chocolate Cookies
  • Chessmen® Butter Cookies
  • Snack Factory® Pretzel Crisps 
  • Snyder’s of Hanover® Rods
  • Fresh fruit and a couple candied nuts

The secret to a beautiful charcuterie board 

The trick to a beautiful food board is to have a few kapow items (“kapow” could be because their bright colors draw the eyes, or it could be because of how it is plated, or even because of what the actual item is: ie, the fun Holiday designed Chessmen® Butter Cookies).
 
Place those kapow items on the board and then fill in around them. 
 
A good “filler” is something that tastes great, doesn’t cost a ton, and can be used to fill gaps. (ie: Consider using Snack Factory® Pretzel Crisps!).

With all these yummy products on the table, Santa will make your house first on his list for a snack!
