Looking for a winter charcuterie board with a little something extra? Think salami roses, snowflake details and cheese arranged like a wrapped present.
These ideas include meat-and-cheese spreads plus a few fruit, dessert and cocoa trays for the sweeter side of your winter table.
You can keep things simple or go all out. I especially love the little snowman details!
Pick a whole arrangement to follow or borrow a few touches for your own board.
Winter Boards and Treat Trays to Try
salami rose wreath
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous wreath arrangement. I love the salami roses tucked between red grapes, crackers and pale cheese wedges.
Leaving the middle empty makes that round shape stand out.
For your version, use culinary rosemary for the greenery and skip the unidentified white flowers touching the food.
rosemary and cracker rows
If you love a board with lots to choose from, this one is for you. Folded meats weave between rows of crackers and cheese, with little bowls of olives, nuts and dark red spread.
The rosemary sprigs are such a pretty finishing touch. Try placing your bowls first, then arranging the larger groups around them.
pears and fig jam
How pretty is this fruit-and-cheese combination? The fig jam sits beside dried apricots, red grapes and folded salami.
Thin pear slices peek out between the cheese wedges.
I’d keep the little bowl slightly off-center like this. It leaves room for a generous bunch of grapes in the middle.
snowflake cheese and a snowman
I am obsessed with this snowy-looking board. The snowflake cut into the cheese and the little snowman are just too cute together.
Pale crackers, white-coated strawberries and marshmallows carry the color theme around the tray. If you’re copying the decorated berries, choose toppings labeled edible rather than craft decorations.

cocoa toppings and candy canes
Calling all hot cocoa fans, this sweet tray has plenty of topping inspiration. There are candy canes, chocolate spoons, marshmallows and little gingerbread-shaped cookies.
I love the checked cups at the back. Set your cups beside the tray if you’d rather leave more room for the treats.
a cheese present and bright fruit
How cute is that cheese wrapped like a present? The thin green tie gives a plain rectangle such a fun holiday detail.
Kiwi, dragon fruit, figs and green apple slices bring lots of color to this board. Try using a chive for your own little cheese bow.
a tree full of little stars
If you are looking for an all-out Christmas arrangement, then this one is for you. Cheese fans, salami roses and iced stars fill the tree shape, with gingerbread figures dotted throughout.
Follow the triangular outline for your own board, but leave off the unidentified flowers and evergreen sprigs. Culinary rosemary can give you a similar green border.
candy cane hearts and cookies
This dessert tray may just be one of my favorites here. I love the candy canes paired into hearts and the little white house-shaped treats with red hearts.
Rows of cookies sit between marshmallows, coated pretzels and striped wafer sticks. There’s no need to choose just one cookie shape for this look!
rosemary branches and red berries
The rosemary is the detail I’d borrow from this board. Long sprigs run between the crackers and meats, with red berries tucked into the greenery.
Keep your olives and pomegranate seeds in small bowls like these. I love how the white scalloped edges show up against all that green.
citrus and pomegranate
Bring a little orange to your winter table with this long cheese board. Mandarin segments and broken-open pomegranates sit beside crackers, cheese and folds of meat.
The round white-rind cheese in the middle is so pretty with a small herb sprig on top. I’d keep that simple detail rather than cover the whole surface.
green apples and pale cheese
Don’t want to go all out with holiday shapes? No problem!
Try this combination of green grapes, apple fans and pale cheeses with round crackers.

The bowl of green olives fits right in. I love that this board feels winter-ready without a snowflake or candy cane in sight.
cocoa mugs and cookie stacks
If you’re looking for a sweet alternative to a meat-and-cheese board, go with this cocoa tray. The mugs sit above little bowls of marshmallows and whipped topping, with cookies around the edge.
Don’t forget the mini candy canes if you want that same splash of red.
white berries and snowy details
Here’s a closer view of the snowy board shown earlier. The white-coated strawberries have tiny silver-colored dots, while dark berries fill the spaces beside the crackers.

I especially love the little snowflake in the green bowl. Borrow that white-and-green pairing if you want a smaller version of this display.
citrus rounds and kiwi fans
Want a fruit-only option for your table? This tray is full of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and green grapes, with orange slices at both ends.

The overlapping kiwi slices are my favorite part. Keep your fruit in little groups like these rather than mixing everything together.
individual holiday snack cups
OMG, how adorable are these little snack cups? Each one has a mix of cheese, folded salami and sweets, with a strawberry-topped fruit skewer peeking above the rim.
The grape, banana slice, strawberry and marshmallow make such a cute little hat combination. Add a striped candy cane if you want to follow this display.
a big rose and cheese fans
The cheese fans are so pretty on this round board. There are pale slices, yellow cubes and a blue-veined wedge arranged around that oversized salami rose.
Try keeping the rose in the center, then placing a small bowl of spread near the front. The tucked-in grapes break up all those rows nicely.
chocolate treats and raspberries
If chocolate is your first choice, save this dessert board. Dark-coated pretzels, sandwich cookies and a little snowman treat sit beside a bright pile of raspberries.
I love the dipped sticks standing in small jars at opposite ends. That’s a cute detail to borrow without copying the whole spread.
a red-filled cheese tree
This is another fun way to give your cheese a holiday detail. The round cheese has a tree-shaped opening filled with red spread, with a row of crackers curling around it.
Bright orange cheese sticks and cucumber pieces add color at the top. For serving, keep decorative snowflake garlands away from the food.
reindeer dip and a snowman face
How cute are these dip bowls? One has pretzel antlers and a raspberry nose, while the other has a snowman face with an orange nose.
Celery sticks, carrots and red pepper strips sit alongside cheese, crackers and cookies. You could borrow just the decorated dip idea for a smaller vegetable tray.

apple fans and folded salami
Last but definitely not least, we have this generous spread with apple fans, curled radish slices and folded salami skewers. I love the little bowls of pickles and filled red peppers.

The white flowers add decoration, but I’d leave florist flowers off a serving board. Keep the apple fans and culinary herbs for a food-focused version of this look.
