A charcuterie board with sausage, cheese, fruits, vegetables, and crackers.

Pro Tip: Rather than arranging all items in their own segregated sections, try mixing up or alternating ingredients so that the board has plenty of visual interest. Consider including small decorative touches for bit of holiday spirit as well. Always add crackers just before serving so they don’t get soggy.
