How to Make It
1
Cut out your provolone into stars and snowflakes with cookie cutters.
2
On a vertically-oriented rectangular board, start with a line of colby as the base. Then add lines of blackberries, peppered and Italian salami, Havarti, olives, Calabrese, cheddar, and raspberries with each layer getting more narrow to resemble a Christmas tree.
3
Add pretzel sticks to the bottom of the tree to resemble a tree trunk.
4
Decorate the tree with the small cheese stars and garnish with rosemary.
5
Add a large star cut-out to the top of the tree and decorate the board with cheese snowflakes.
