The perfect way to ring in Christmas is with a Christmas CharcuterTREE board. I bought this Christmas tree shaped board and the Christmas cookie cutter from Amazon as well. It makes this simple board look so elegant and festive! I bought all of these ingredients from Trader Joe's, so it makes shopping for this board so much easier. I tried my best to make a seasonal board that has all of the flavors of the winter - figs, cranberry, and oranges. I felt like brie and goat cheese were the two best options for this board.
