Christmas Cheese Trees – Easy Holiday Appetizer Bites
I made these Christmas Cheese Trees for a small holiday get-together last year, and they disappeared fast. They’re just Laughing Cow cheese wedges dressed up with chopped pistachios, cranberries, and sunflower seeds.
Simple, but somehow, they make the snack table look more festive. If you’re like me and love easy appetizers that don’t take much effort, these little trees are a great pick. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep time, you’ll have a festive finger food that’s as charming as it is delicious.

How to Make Christmas Cheese Trees
Here are the ingredients you need to make these Christmas cheese trees, plus step by step instructions for how to make them.
Ingredients
- 5.4 oz package Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges (8 wedges)
- 1 tbsp chopped pistachios
- 1 tbsp chopped dried cranberries
- 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
- 4 pretzel sticks
Step by Step Instructions
1. Unwrap the cheese wedges and set them aside on a plate.
2. In a small bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and sunflower seeds, then spread the mixture out on a small plate.
3. Place a cheese wedge onto the nut and fruit mixture, then turn it over and transfer it to a serving platter. Lightly press the topping into the cheese so it sticks.
4. Break the pretzel sticks in half and gently insert one half into the bottom of each cheese wedge to make the tree “trunk.”
5. Refrigerate until you’re ready to serve.
What I like most about these cheese trees is how easy they are to throw together, even at the last minute. You can make a few or a whole tray depending on how many people you’re feeding. They taste good, look cute, and add a fun touch to the spread – no fancy ingredients or extra fuss needed.
