Holiday Hosting Island Appetizer Template + Winter Sangria Recipe

Happy Holidays, friends!

It’s time for our annual Christmas party and this year I wanted to try something a little different. I stumbled upon this giant charcuterie template on Etsy and knew it would be perfect!

The template came with a complete shopping list to make the setup as easy as possible! I was able to grab everything at my local Aldi’s store since they have the best cheese selection, in my opinion.

Needless to say this island appetizer buffet was an absolute hit and it was even easier clean up being able to just roll everything up and toss it.

I found this adorable tree shaped beverage dispenser at Walmart and it was perfect for my large batch winter sangria.
