Christmas Tree Cheese Board

O Christmas cheese, O Christmas cheese! This cheese board is super simple and festive with all the ingredients assembled to look like a Christmas tree. What is not to love?

There’s something about cheese – it’s like the duct tape of foods!

There are days that I don’t want to cook. I just want cheese, fruit, and wine.

When I host a party, I always set out a variety of appetizers like chile con queso, guacamole, salsa, and a charcuterie board.

This Christmas, I’ll be simplifying my cheese board and letting my kids make this easy-to-assemble and gorgeous Christmas tree cheese board on a wooden tray.
