And today is HOME STYLE SATURDAY. We are sharing our favorite archived posts. The O, Christmas Tree Cheese Board is one of my most popular pins and a big crowd pleaser. It’s delicious and easy to make too!

 

Let’s make an Oh, Christmas Tree Cheese Board! I saw this amazing cheese board on Pinterest and had to make one for myself! 

Materials:

  • 3 different kinds of cheese of different colors cut into triangle wedges ( I used 2 8oz blocks for each type of cheese)
  • green grapes
  • large red globe grapes
  • rosemary and thyme
  • toothpicks
  • crackers

OH, CHRISTMAS TREE CHEESE BOARD- an real crowd pleaser! I'll show you how to put it together.

  1. I used a poster board covered in Carrara Marble contact paper as a base for the Christmas tree. Make a template for the tree out of parchment paper. This is important. Without a guide, the tree might not turn out even. I used a quarter sheet pan size of parchment and folded it into a triangle.
  2. Start at the top of the tree. Arrange one color cheese wedges. I found that triangle wedges are easiest to arrange. Nestle them into one another following the outline of the parchment paper. Next, add a row of grapes. Snip the grapes into clusters of 3 to 6 grapes. arrange snugly up against the first layer of cheese.
  3. Continue alternating different colored cheese wedges and green and purple grapes. I attached 2 red grapes together with a toothpick and lined them up in a row and then added single red grapes on top of them.  Keep snuggling one row against the next, making sure they are straight.

5. Continue layering the cheese and grape layers according to the image until the tree is complete.

6. Add the grape star topper. Choose a plump red grape for the center of the star. Put a toothpick through a green grape and stick the toothpick into the red grape as the image shows.

7. Garnish with thyme and rosemary.  Add a celery stick for the trunk of the tree.

Serve with assorted crackers and mustards.

Wouldn’t this be the biggest hit at your next Christmas gathering?

  1. Thank you for the tip about using parchment paper as a guideline! I tried this last year and ended up with a Godzilla size tree at which point I just put everything on a divided dish and took it. So boring! Adding the sprigs of herbs makes it look so much better too. But, the star is the cutest thing! And cutting the cheese into wedges is genius! I just can’t wait to show off my cheese tree this year!! Merry Christmas! XOXO

  19. I did this last Christmas with my 3 year old granddaughter. While it didn’t turn out as beautiful as yours, she had so much fun being part of creating and of getting ready for Christmas. Of course there was the snacking as we went along. Merry Christmas
