Start by laying out the frame for the Christmas tree. Arrange fresh dill in a tree shape on a large cutting board, serving platter or any food-safe wooden board.
Fresh dill
Take your ham and fold each piece in half, then fold like an accordion. Place two to three folded pieces on a toothpick. Repeat until you have 6 toothpicks (12 folded pieces of ham).
12 slices Honey ham
Take the salami and fold one piece in half, then roll it up like a cinnamon roll. Wrap two more folded pieces around the first rolled up salami. This will look like a rose. Repeat with the remaining salami until you have 8 rolls.
24 slices Salami
Take three of the ham toothpicks and press together to make a garland shape. Place on the lower third of the dill tree. Take the remaining three toothpicks and press together to make a garland shape. Place on the 2nd third of the dill tree.
Place the 8 rolls of salami around the tree (three on the bottom third, three on the middle third, and two on the top third).
Using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut one of the Pepper Jack pieces into a star shape and place it at the top of the tree.
1 slice Pepper Jack cheese
Cut your brie wheel into even triangles and place them around the board.
8 ounces Brie
Add blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries to some of your empty spaces.
3/4 cup Blackberries, 1/4 cup Blueberries, 1/2 cup Raspberries
Place cutie oranges (3-4 halves) as shown and fill in some of the empty space with the pepper jack and cheddar cheese cubes.
