A holiday dessert charcuterie board is the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season. Mix and match desserts for your next party.
Jump to RecipeAfter making a hot chocolate board last week, we decided to make a holiday dessert board. It’s the best way to enjoy all of the delicious sweet treats on one dessert platter. And this Christmas charcuterie board is so much fun to put together, too!
One thing to keep in mind is the size of the desserts you are adding to your board. You’ll likely want a large board to fit everything. I used a large wooden board that my mom bought for me for Christmas last year. It was able to hold a variety of desserts of all different sizes.
One of the best things to add to your Christmas dessert charcuterie board is your favorite cookies. You can use homemade cookies, store-bought cookies, or a combination of both. I purchased the butter cookie tin at the grocery store, but we made the sugar cookies for our holiday board.
