The Easiest Way to Make a Veggie Tray Festive!
This is SO cute for the holidays! It’s no wonder it went viral a few years back on my Instagram. I love how a few simple veggies can turn into a little Christmas tree that feels extra special on the table.
All I did was use broccoli for the tree, cherry tomatoes for the ornaments, yellow peppers for the star, and mini pretzels for the trunk. That’s it!
I like serving it right on the table with ranch for dipping, and you can have the extra veggies and pretzels on the side. It’s perfect when you want something fresh and colorful alongside all the holiday treats.
And the best part? This Christmas veggie tray is only a handful of simple ingredients. If you’re putting together a holiday spread, this is such a fun little touch!
