Christmas Veggie Tray

How to Make a Christmas Wreath Veggie Tray

Even though the concept of making a veggie tray for Christmas is pretty simple, there is actually a kind of art to getting the wreath to look right! You ready to learn how I did it?

Wash all vegetables and set aside.
Get a large circular platter and place a small bowl for dip in the middle. Slice cucumbers and layer around the outside edge of the platter. Next cut your celery and layer just inside the cucumber ring. Then layer the snap peas, and then bunch the broccoli in the middle around your dip bowl.
Once you have all your greenery ready, garnish with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls and olives as "ornaments".
Cut little stars out of your yellow peppers, and a bow out of your red pepper. I used a cherry tomato for the middle, and cut the bow shapes out of the red pepper. Use toothpicks to stick bow together if needed.

Christmas Veggie Platter FAQ's

Here are a few answers to frequently asked questions we get about our holiday veggie tray.

Can you prepare your veggie tray in advance?

Yes, you can. Once tray is prepared, wrap with Saran Wrap and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. You can also wash and cut veggies and store in individual bags until ready to assemble.

How should I store leftovers?

Store vegetables in individual bags or containers (carrots in one bag, cucumbers in another etc.) in the fridge.

How long can I leave my veggie tray out at room temperature?

Two-Hour Rule: If the room temperature is above 40°F (4°C), the veggie tray should not be left out for more than two hours. This includes the time it takes to prepare, display, and serve the tray.

Use Chill Plates or Ice Packs: If you need to keep the veggie tray out for a longer period, consider using chill plates or ice packs underneath the tray to help maintain a cooler temperature. This can extend the safe time for leaving the tray out.

Christmas Veggie Tray Ideas

I always serve this veggie tray wreath with our delicious (and easy) homemade ranch dip.
You can also make a Christmas tree veggie tray on a rectangular platter, shaping your veggies into a tree shape instead of a wreath and decorating in the same way.
A few other fun Christmas appetizer ideas are our beautiful Cranberry Feta Pinwheels, a festive Christmas Cheese Ball or our fun Christmas Apple Wreath.
