This is the ultimate New Year’s Eve charcuterie board. Always a crowd-pleaser, it brings together sweet treats, savory bites, and takes less than 25 minutes to assemble. I love using silver and black candies for a celebratory touch. Fill the candy in 2026 number dishes (see below for other options) and you have the beautiful NYE starter.

This is a great hack for serving up Sufganiyot during Hanukkah (without making donuts from scratch), but it’s also a fun way to serve up dessert for any other occasion. From Xmas to a bday party, etc.
My favorite combo was cream cheese + passion fruit together in a donut! Absolutely divine!

Surprise. I’ve been working on something really special for you and it’s finally here: my Cheese Board Mini Puzzles.

It’s a set of six 70-piece puzzles inspired by boards from The Cheese Board Deck, plus a little booklet with recipes and tips so you can recreate the spreads at home. They’re perfect for cozy winter nights, puzzle breaks with friends or family, or a relaxing solo moment when staying in sounds just right.✨

My Hot Chocolate Board was such a hit, that I decided the only way to top it was by adding some booze to make them for some adult fun. I gathered three of my favorite spiked hot chocolate recipes, which you will find below, and built this board and all the toppings around them! Plus, who doesn’t love fluffy marshmallows? My go-to is Stuffed Puffs for adding extra richness and flavor.

Ingredients

I made this with @sophistiplate and I couldn’t be more proud to have it available online and in stores. The fact that I can walk into a World Market & see my products truly blows me away!! It’s a fun one to serve up charcuterie for the holidays or gift to a friend.

This is PART 7 of my budget series, which I’m hoping helps you host with budgeting in mind. Check out my highlights to see the others.

This cost $32 and there were leftovers to fill more up as they get eaten. It’s great for serving a crowd or having the whole family graze on for your (hopefully lazy) days over the holidays.

Whether or not the weather outside is frightful, this snowman cheese ball is so very delightful! Bring this adorable app to your holiday party or serve it at home for a festive winter-themed snack. The best part is that it’s super easy! All you have to do is mix up all the cheesy, herby goodness and turn it into the perfect snowperson!

Ingredients
* 16 oz cream cheese softened
* 2 cups Italian cheese blend (SEE NOTE at bottom)
* 1 tsp minced chives
* 1/2 tsp chopped fresh parsley
* 1/4 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
* 1/8 tsp garlic powder
* 2 cups grated Parmesan
* Black peppercorns for garnish
* Baby carrots for serving
* Crackers for serving

Instructions
* In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, Italian cheese blend, chives, parsley, rosemary, and garlic powder. 
* Push the cheese into the center of the bowl and form into a ball. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour or up to overnight. 
* Separate the chilled mixture into two pieces, one bigger than the other. Use your hands to roll them into balls. (Pro tip: Use the plastic wrap while shaping the cheese for less mess and a smoother shape!) Place the Parmesan in a bowl. Working one at a time, roll the cheese balls in the Parmesan (or pat the cheese onto the cheese). 
* Stack the smaller ball on top of the bigger ball. Push the cloves into the cheese balls to make your snowman’s face and buttons. Cut one baby carrot into a small triangle and push into the snowman’s face as a nose. 
* Serve on a platter with crackers and carrots on the side. 
* NOTE: If a bag of Italian Style Shredded Cheese Blend is unavailable, here is a mix, ½ cup shredded mozzarella, ½ cup shredded parmesan, ¼ cup shredded asiago, ¼ cup shredded fontina, ¼ cup shredded provolone.

* 8 oz martini olives halved
* Kosher salt
* 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
