When my urges for yuletide outlets crescendo in December, I’ve discovered creating a holiday themed “cheer-cuterie” board the perfect way to satisfy the three seasonal necessities: creative expression, festive decor, and intermittent grazing. My partner and I created the board below using our favorite varieties and flavors from vendors in the Chippewa Valley. Feel free to steal or swap any idea for your own gathering to create some wintertime joy. As long as it’s on a wooden platter, anything is fair game.
