Christmas Charcuterie Board. Made with hot cocoa, festive holiday candy, creamy marshmallows, holiday shaped crackers and delicious Christmas cookies.
If you haven’t guested already, charcuterie boards are one of our favorite things to make and share with you all, and they are some of the top posts on our site! So, this year, we thought we would make a hot coco-inspired snack board that was filled with a bunch of yummy holiday treats.
When we were creating this Christmas charcuterie board, we wanted something that was reminiscent of our childhood, but also something friends and family could all enjoy. This holiday board only takes several minutes to assemble and is super festive party snack to serve this holiday season.
If you’re wanting to create a fun charcuterie board for a Christmas party for friends, family, or kids, you’re in the right place. We’ll show you how we prepared each item on the board and how we decorated our board.
Now, let’s make a charcuterie board that will sleigh the holidays!
This post is all about Christmas Charcuterie Board.
The Best Christmas Charcuterie Board
What’s on the Christmas Charcuterie Board
Hot Cocoa Mix: The hot coco mix is the perfect addition to the Christmas charcuterie board. Pour the hot cocoa mix in a bowl for everyone to spoon out and make their hot cocoa drink.
Mini Marshmallows: Not only are the marshmallows a yummy sweet snack for grazing, but they are perfect topping to your decadent hot cocoa.
Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies: We made these peanut butter cookies with a simple Betty Crocker mix, but you can certainly make them homemade. Add a chocolate Kiss to the top after they have come out of the oven.
Chocolate Covered Peppermint Oreos: We dipped regular Oreos halfway into chocolate and rolled them in crushed peppermint. In our opinion, this is our favorite snack on the board. Who doesn’t love a chocolate covered Oreo.
Christmas M&Ms: These are a perfect colorful, sweet snack to add to the snacking board. We filled in some of the remaining empty spaces with these. Feel free to make them overflow over the board.
Christmas Kisses: We used the leftover chocolate Kisses to decorate the board. The adorable Santa hat packaging adds to the Christmas theme.
Holiday Shaped Goldfish Crackers: How adorable are these holiday shaped Goldfish? They are shaped like stockings and Christmas trees. It’s the perfect salty addition to the board, and let’s be honest…you can never outgrow Goldfish.
Candy Canes: Add candy canes around the board. These are the perfect addition to a hot cocoa drink or just eating by themselves!
Holiday Charcuterie Board Serveware
Charcuterie Boards: If you want to be really festive, you can serve your food items on this holiday charcuterie board, or you a beautiful board or plate you already own.
Festive Christmas Bowls: We bought these $3 bowls from Target for the holidays. They come in multiple colors and are the perfect serving size bowl for hot cocoa, snacks or dips.
Cute Marshmallow Mug: We can’t get over how adorable this marshmallow mug is. We wanted the mug to look like it was spilling marshmallows out of it, so we laid it on it’s side and filled it with marshmallows.
How to Prepare Your Charcuterie Board Food Items
1. Bake Your Peanut Butter Blossoms
If you don’t want to make your peanut butter cookies from scratch, you can use this super simple peanut butter cookie mix. This is the one we used and loved it as an easy alternative to making them homemade.
All you do is make your cookie dough, form the dough into 16 round balls, roll them in course sugar, and bake them for 8-10 minutes.
Once they are done baking, place a Kiss in the middle of each one (the Kiss will get warm, but won’t melt).
2. Make Your Chocolate Covered Oreos
These are super simple to make, look so beautiful on the Christmas snack board and are so delicious.
First start by crushing a candy cane or two in a plastic bag. You want super fine pieces for dipping.
All you have to do is melt 1/2 cup-1 cup of chocolate chips or melting chocolate a microwave, pausing to stir it every 10 secs.
You’ll have to work quick for this part, because the chocolate will cool fast. Dip half of the Oreo in the chocolate and cover with the crushed peppermint. Place the Oreos on a plate and transfer them to the fridge to cool and harden.
How to Decorate Your Christmas Charcuterie Board
This Christmas Board is super simple to put put together. We timed it and it literally only took us 3 minutes and 9 seconds to assemble.
Watch us assemble our Holiday Charcuterie Board on Instagram Reels.
First, place your bowl of hot cocoa mix next to the bowl. Add a spoon for serving.
Next, add your festive mug, filled with marshmallows and add some more across the board, like they are spilling out of the mug.
Then, add your candy canes and holiday Goldfish bowl to the side of the board. Sprinkle in some of your chocolate covered Oreos and peanut butter blossom cookies.
Lastly, fill in the remaining empty spaces with holiday M&Ms and Santa hat Kisses. Enjoy!
