TRIM THESE TREES FOR A FESTIVE AND FUN STARTER

Need a sophisticated nibble for last-minute holiday parties or unexpected guests?

Our five-minute Christmas tree appetizer, inspired by Apron Strings, is a fun, festive finger food that will bring cheer to any holiday gathering.

Variations on a good thing: Laughing Cow cheeses comes in a yummy array of flavors. The spicy pepper jack and queso fresco chipotle cheeses will give your appetizer a lovely lip-smacking heat. The creamy white cheddar and asiago cheeses go impeccably well with the sliced apples.

Swap in thin sliced green pears for the apple or decorate the large Christmas tree with both.
