Step-by-Step Guide

1. Lay strawberries at the curved end of your board to mimic the red stripe of a candy cane. Alternate with white chocolate candies to build the iconic pattern.

2. Slice your pomegranate and carefully remove the seeds. Place them next to the strawberries, adding a vibrant red shimmer.

3. Cut the blue cheese into cubes and nestle them alongside the pomegranate for a creamy counterpoint.

4. Layer these red gems for a festive and sweet surprise. Follow with mozzarella balls to keep the candy cane pattern going strong.

5. Alternate halved cherry tomatoes and triangle cow cheese along the board, filling in gaps and adding texture.

6. Decorate with rosemary sprigs to make your board look like it was plucked straight from a winter wonderland.
