The Cutest Christmas Veggie Tray!

You know me, I love a good kitchen shortcut! For this snowman veggie tray, I used store-bought ranch and spinach artichoke dip. No need to make everything from scratch, especially when there’s already so much going on during the holidays!

I’ve been using the same food board for the past few years, and it’s perfect for arranging all the veggies! I filled this one with broccoli, cucumbers, baby carrots, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, celery, and olives. All those colorful veggies make the cutest little snowman! I mean, how fun would this be for Christmas?!

For the dips, you can make your own or grab your favorites at the grocery store. My viral Dill Pickle Dip would be SO good with this, too! Creamy dip and crisp, crunchy veggies are such a good combination. You can mix and match your favorites, so everyone has something yummy to snack on!

The olive eyes and buttons, little carrot nose, and red pepper scarf make this snowman veggie tray such a fun Christmas appetizer. It’s easy, colorful, kid-friendly, and perfect for holiday parties. If you’re looking for a festive appetizer that doesn’t add a ton of extra work to your day, you have to try this!

Notes

Any of your favorite white dips and dipping ingredients will work for this recipe, get creative! Make sure to use a thicker ranch type veggie dip versus regular ranch dressing so that the snowman’s face ingredients don’t sink into the dip.
