  • Insert one half into the bottom of each cheese wedge.
  • Chill until ready to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Keep Them Cold: Chill until serving to maintain the tree shape and texture of the cheese.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your nuts and seeds are fresh for the best crunch.
  • Press Gently: Press toppings lightly in the Christmas cheese trees so they stick without squishing the soft cheese.
  • Vary the Toppings: Swap cranberries for pomegranate seeds or nuts for a different flavor.
