The Holiday Tree Fruit Platter is one of those easy, simple, and delicious ideas that looks just as good as it tastes. Fresh fruit and cheese are arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree, creating a colorful centerpiece that doubles as a healthy snack.

I love this platter because it comes together quickly with ingredients you can easily find, and there’s no cooking involved. Just slice, arrange, and serve—it’s that simple.

The best part is how versatile it is; you can use a mix of fruits, add cheese cubes, or even include a few festive extras like crackers or pretzels. It’s a cheerful way to brighten up any holiday table and always gets guests reaching for another bite.
