Perfect Presentation Platters

Christmas Platters: If you’d like to use a holiday platter, I love this engraved Pine Tree Tray from World Market, or this Christmas Tree shaped cutting board from Antique Farmhouse! This Christmas Mercantile Tray from the Pioneer Woman is also so festive and cheerful.

Individual Holiday Plates: You can’t go wrong with these adorable Plaid Plates from Target or these charming Nutcracker Plates from TJ Maxx, both for a great price!

Checkered Serving Boards: I used this checkered chopping board, which I use for prep, serving, and decor! For a more affordable version, Temu also has this Checkered Chopping Board that comes in various sizes and is so handy for prep, serving, and decor! I use mine all the time!

Holiday Links: I get asked all the time about my favorite kitchen decor for the holidays, so I linked my favorites for you!

The illuminated Christmas Village Cookie Jar is from Mac-Kenzie Childs. For a less-expensive option, I also love her Gingerbread House Cookie Jar.
For another adorable cookie jar, I also adore this Gingerbread House and Gingerbread Man Platter (both from Pottery Barn.)
The Nutcracker Cookie Jar is from Mac-Kenzie-Childs (and makes a great gift!) My checkered rug is also MacKenzie-Childs.
I also love my Candle Warming Lamp for jar candles as a flameless option for scented candles!
If you’re looking for a Christmas sign, I love my adorable red Santa’s Bakery sign from Etsy!

Can I Prep This in Advance?

Yes! You can stuff the rolls with the Mozzarella cheese several hours before serving time. Just be sure to store in a Ziploc bag and refrigerate so the rolls stay fresh. We recommend waiting to add the butter and herb wash until right before baking so the rolls don’t get soggy.

Storing Leftover Cheesy Garlic Christmas Tree Rolls

Place any leftovers in a Tupperware container or Ziploc Bag and refrigerate. These should stay fresh for several days!
