Create a beautiful Christmas Antipasto Wreath for your holiday gathering. This stunning appetizer is customizable and can be served with bread and cheese for a festive treat.

Christmas Antipasto Wreath
Who has their Christmas menu planned? I feel like I’m close, but I’m definitely not done. One of the biggest hindrances to actually deciding what I am going to make.
This wreath, is really stunning and a great centerpiece for your holiday appetizer table. Best part is you can make it as big or small as necessary to fit your needs. I think it would look even better on a giant round platter. I was shocked I didn’t have one and will fix that the next time I am at the appropriate store. I think it would be cool on top of a lazy Susan too.
You could even make the rosemary wreath around a large wheel of cheese and have a basket with the bread slices nearby. So many options for this one. If your wreath is big enough, a round, ramekin filled with dip in the middle of the bread could also be an option. Let your creativity run wild with this one.

Also, if you are having lots of stay over guests for the holidays, this is the perfect kitchen project for them to tackle. House guests love feeling helpful and they want to contribute (at least the good ones do).
This wreath is also doable for a teenager who enjoys helping in the kitchen and even for those adults who love to help but lack cooking skills.

Because it’s so pretty, anyone who makes it will feel satisfied and proud of what they’ve put together.

If you decide to make this wreath over the holiday season, send me your picture of it!
Antipasto has always been the pre-party to the main course, and there are so many creative ways to enjoy it. Make sure to give my antipasto pasta salad, my antipasto squares and if it’s party time, these antipasto and cheddar-pickle skewers is the perfect appetizer.

Thanks for the great idea! As I was reading your note, I realized I have the perfect round plate for it – our daughters gave me a lovely glass plate with a bay leaf wreath pattern 🙂
