What better way to get into the holiday season than with an epic Christmas charcuterie board? Okay, maybe watching Elf and smothering your pasta in maple syrup. But these boards are a good alternative.
Cheese boards are great for any season, as we’ve seen with Halloween and Thanksgiving. They add a festive touch to seasonal get togethers, they involve food, and they can kind of convince your college art teacher who follows you on Instagram that you still have some artistic inclination remaining.
Here’s the best Christmas charcuterie boards we could find. That we haven’t already eaten.
35 Christmas Charcuterie Boards To Spread Cheer and Cheese
1. Christmas Colors Charcuterie Board
Tell anyone who says you’re celebrating Christmas too early to take it up with the Sugar Plum fairies. As payment for their services, you can offer them this festive platter.
2. Charcuterie Cornucopias
When holiday season and flu season combine, try this hack and make individual charcuterie cornucopias. Also a great way to make sure Uncle Eddy doesn’t eat all the pepperoni.
3. Christmas Snack Board
Gathered Living has mastered this Christmas snack board. Pro tip? Use cookie cutters to cut the cheese. It’s way less smelly.
4. Christmas Wreath Charcuterie
Hang this charcuterie wreath on your door and attract all the woodland creatures who have ignored you since Halloween.
5. Christmas Charcuterie Dessert Board
Charcuterie doesn’t have to be just cheese and meat! (Just ignore Merriam-Webster over there.) This dessert board is perfect for snacking and people who can’t bake something sweet for the holidays.
6. Charcuterie Wreath
That Graze Plate totally nailed this Christmas charcuterie wreath, but we still somehow managed to save room for dessert! Wait, we thought you were in charge of the pie?
7. Snow Day Charcuterie Board
Some dream of a white Christmas, others dream of cheese and cured meats. Last night we dreamed about the meatball sub we had for dinner. Whatever your dreams are, we bet this Christmas charcuterie board will be in them soon.
8. Oh, Christmas Tree
In our home, Santa prefers cheese over cookies. And we prefer Rudolph over Santa. But don’t tell! We really need a new frying pan from him this year. WillCo Wine & Cheese really decked the halls with this one.
9. Santa Charcuterie Board
This creative Christmas charcuterie board will make you start signing, “he sees you when you’re eating.” Until you eat his eye, of course.
10. Minimalist Christmas Tree Board
If you don’t feel like cutting down a whole tree this year, opt for this ‘lil guy instead. Sure, you won’t get those outdoorsy pics for the ‘Gram. But that’s what Photoshop is for, right?
11. Merry Christmas Charcuterie Board
All we want for Christmas is an Apple Watch and for Netflix to stop asking us if we’re still there. But this charcuterie board is a close second.
12. Frosty and Rudolph Charcuterie
Showcase your favorite Christmas characters with this board. What, John McClane didn’t make the list?
13. Rosemary Brie Tree
Gather all your favorite cheeses around the Christmas tree with this merry board. When they start singing carols, you know you’ve eaten too much.
14. Garland Christmas Charcuterie Board
We’ll never tire of tree-shaped charcuterie. We’re pining for this one, but eating the rosemary straight is not recommended. Not that we know from experience.
15. Festive Tree Charcuterie Board
Can we call this a charcute-tree? We can, but it’s lame? Tell us how you really feel.
16. Salami Roses Wreath Board
These salami roses are creative, fun, and likely delicious. If you like the taste of salami, that is. You do you.
17. Christmas Colors Charcuterie Board
The alternating red, green, and white colors on this Christmas charcuterie board makes our brains happy. If only there was a name for that.
18. Cranberry Brie Christmas Board
This board idea is great if you’re a germaphobe, because each piece is its own island. You’re welcome for the reminder that you’re due for a vacation.
19. Charcuterie Santa
You better brie good this year, otherwise Santa won’t put prosciutto in your stocking. A win for sanitation, a loss for hungry bellies that are tired of cookies.
20. Floral Christmas Charcuterie Board
The flowers on this board aren’t edible, but that doesn’t stop us. We’re on a rampage. Christmas just jingles our bells.
21. Sweet and Savory Christmas Charcuterie Board
There just isn’t enough sugar at Christmas time. This board solves for that by throwing some cookies in the mix. Finally.
22. Christmas Charcuter-Tree Board
We’re only a little salty that this charcuterie board looks better than our actual tree. To be fair, our cat had a field day with it last night, so it’s not all on us.
23. Grapes and Cheese Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
The best thing about this charcuterie board is how easy it is to make, with grapes and cheese being the only ingredients. The second best thing is how much cheese there is. We’re easy to please.
24. Christmas Wreath Charcuterie Appetizer Board
This works well for a party, except that everyone is forced to contend with olives. Only psychopaths like olives.
25. Gold Star Christmas Charcuterie Board
Don’t do this board if it’ll bother you when people start eating and the layers become uneven. We’re talking to ourselves as much as you.
26. Christmas Charcuterie Chalet
A charcuterie chalet is exciting because it’s as fun to create as a gingerbread house, and even more fun to eat. That gloopy inedible icing really puts a damper on things.
27. Candy Cane Christmas Board
If that brie doesn’t taste like peppermint candy, we’ll be perplexed. Our deductive reasoning skills may need some work.
28. Christmas Reds and Greens Snack Board
Mindless snackers beware: dunking sugar cookies in ranch dressing doesn’t taste as good as it sounds.
29. Tis The Season Charcuterie Board
Mmm, cookies tinged with the flavor of salami.
30. Colorful Christmas Charcuterie Board
We’ve got our eyes on that sweater cookie. No touchie.
31. Tiered Christmas Charcuterie Board
No need to buy a new Christmas tree-shaped charcuterie board when you have this guy in your arsenal.
32. O Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board
This charcuterie board is stuffed with veggies and nuts and looks so healthy. We’re intentionally ignoring the cheese, but we won’t when it’s time to dig in.
33. Delicate Christmas Wreath Board
Who needs a Christmas dinner when you can just eat a wreath? Things we never expected to say. Or at least say and mean.
34. Santa Charcuterie Cups
Forget the board. Funnel it right into your mouth.
35. Christmas Charcuterie Board
‘Trees’ rhymes with ‘cheese’, and that can’t be a coincidence. We take it as further evidence that Christmas isreally about the charcuterie, Cindy Lou.
