I love to make homemade treats with the best of them. But, yall, it’s physically not possible for me make homemade cookies for every event during the holiday season I am tasked with bringing food. Sometimes you just gotta pick something up from the store. We have started a tradition in our family that on Christmas day, we make a big treat charcuterie board with all the goodies we have amassed over the month. This gave me the idea to do the same when I need to do an easy board for a holiday event, but still make it cute. Celebrate the season with a stress-free yet stunning Christmas Cookie Charcuterie! In this post, discover how to assemble a festive spread using store-bought goodies. Elevate your holiday gatherings with this easy, no-bake approach to sweet indulgence.

Assembling Your Christmas Cookie Charcuterie:
STEP 1: I started with a ramekin filled with Peppermint Stars. Using small bowls and ramekins on your board can just give some height and variation to a charcuterie board.
STEP 2: Add some cookies in the corner. I started with gingerbread cheesecake sandwich cookies.
STEP 3: Add in a totally different shape like a the long rolled wafers.
STEP 4: Continue to fill in small areas around your board with the different cookies, pretzels and barks.
STEP 5: Fill in any open spaces with nuts.
