Although every day is a good day for a cheese board, we usually only whip them up for special occasions. Which makes the holidays a wonderful time to plate your favorite cheeses, charcuteries, and various accompaniments and wow your guests or host with a cohesive spread.

But with everything going on during the holiday season, finding the time to research the perfect pairings can leave you feeling like the Grinch.

Well, don’t stress. Farmers’ is here to save your holiday spirit! We’ve asked some of our cheesiest (and by that, we mostly mean cheese-obsessed) staffers to curate manageable cheeseboards for you to share this holiday season.

These simple recipes include everything you need for a well-rounded appetizer platter; however, feel free to add your own personality to the plate as well! Try picking out more of your favorite cheeses and pairings such as olives, nuts, jams, and fruits!
