Honestly, what could be better for the upcoming holiday season than building a Christmas tree charcuterie board that actually stands up? A quick look on social media shows lots of examples of how to make a Christmas tree charcuterie board that will wow your guests.
Check out this trio of charcuterie Christmas trees created by the deli workers at a Hy-Vee Supermarket in Liberty, Missouri. Talk about a tower of tastiness! They even have little tree-shaped toppers made out of cheese.

Like any other charcuterie board, what you add to your Christmas tree charcuterie board is only limited by your creativity and budget. Maybe you want to make one full of salami roses for some extra flair.
