Use small cookie cutters to shape the hard cheese into festive stars, Christmas trees, and snowflakes, then arrange them on the board.
Slice the brie wheel horizontally and cut out two snowmen using a cookie cutter or knife. Cut the remaining brie into small cubes.
Create a prosciutto bow by folding each slice accordion-style and securing the center with a strip of salami to form the knot. Lay fresh sage leaves around the outer edge of a round board to form the wreath base.
Add the brie cubes and place the prosciutto bow on one side of the board. Arrange the Slim Jim appetizers and brie snowmen opposite each other for symmetry. Add salami roses and mini mozzarella for variety and texture.
Fill the remaining spaces with crackers, olives, nuts, and grapes. Break apart the pomegranate and tuck the pieces evenly around the board.
Finish with the shaped cheese trees, stars, and snowflakes. Garnish with small edible flowers and scatter a few pomegranate seeds for a colorful, festive finish.

Christmas Charcuterie Board FAQs
Can I make this charcuterie board a day ahead?
Yes, you can assemble most of the board up to a day in advance. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Just wait until right before serving to add the crackers and cookies so they stay crisp.
Can I use a rectangular board?
A round board works best, but if you only have a rectangular board, you can still form a circle; just leave the center open for that wreath look.
Can I customize the ingredients?
Absolutely. You can swap the meat, cheeses, fruit, or nuts to match your preferences, budget, or dietary needs. Just aim for a good mix of color, texture, and sweet + salty.
What else can I add to fill gaps on the board?
Fresh rosemary sprigs, sugared cranberries, cherry tomatoes, dried fruit, pretzels, or chocolate truffles all work beautifully.
