Santa Cheese Platter

A cheeseboard is always a easy, go to appetizer or snack for any of my holiday gatherings. This Santa cheese platter is so easy to put together and is perfectly festive for Christmas time. Arranging the ingredient into the Santa shape elevates a basic meat and cheese offering into a cute and fun centerpiece for your holiday parties. Below I’ll walk you through how to put this together, but it can be customized to any meat and cheese pairing you prefer!

• White cheese slices ( I used Swiss and Provolone)

• Orange cheese slices ( I used medium cheddar)

• White cheese cubes

• Pepperoni

• Olives and cranberries (or cherry tomato) for the Santa facial features

1. Arrange cheese slices on platter into shape of Santa’s face. I used orange cheese slices for his face and white cheese slices for his beard.

2. Arrange pepperonis to create Santa’s hat.

3. Use cheese cubes to make the fluff on the Santa hat.

4. Use two extra pepperonis for Santa’s rosy cheeks and smile, a cranberry or cherry tomato for the nose, and olives for his eyes. I also used extra white cheese to make his mustache and eyebrows.
