Arrange the meats across the board so they’re not all clumped in one spot. Add stuffing next, either in a small bowl or shaped into a neat pile on the board.

Place any dips, sauces, or cranberry relish in small containers and space them apart to keep the board balanced and easy to grab from.

Add cheeses and crackers, filling in some of the open areas while still leaving a few empty spots for visual breathing room.

Tuck in fresh fruits and vegetables like sliced apples, grapes, or carrot sticks wherever there’s space.

Finish with small items like nuts, dried fruit, or a bit of chocolate to fill in any remaining gaps and bring the whole board together.
