Easy Thanksgiving Charcuterie Boards

Charcuterie boards have become more and more popular over the past few years and for good reason. They’re a great way to serve up in a variety of food items in an impressive and beautiful way.

Last year I made the most amazing Grinch charcuterie board for Christmas and a really fun Halloween snack board.

This year I’m in charge of bringing a Thanksgiving charcuterie board full of appetizers and snacks for people before the main event.

And if you’re in the same boat, then hopefully this collection will give you some ideas because Thanksgiving is a food holiday and these boards will impress even the pickiest of critics. The hardest part will be choosing which board to make for your guests.

Looking at someone else’s board makes it even to make your own Thanksgiving charcuterie board so hopefully this post will make it easy for you to pick and choose ideas to put together the perfect charcuterie platter for your Thanksgiving gathering!

Traditional Thanksgiving Charcuterie Boards

You can’t go wrong by starting off with the classics. These boards are beautiful and filled with fall goodies. With so many great ideas and delicious snacks, it’ll be hard to narrow down which board you want to recreate. And there’s no wrong way to create a board so feel free to use your creativity however you want!
