There’s something for everyone with a Christmas Grazing Platter. Surprise your family with this tasty snack platter in the run-up to Christmas, or serve it as a fun appetizer on the big day.
You can use any cheese or vegetables you like, and even add dried fruit, fresh fruit, and chocolate. Yum.
Don't miss my Santa charcuterie, cucumber trees, and feta and cucumber platter for other festive boards.
