Just about everyone loves cheese but you can make it even more enjoyable by arranging your cheese plate into a holiday tree. Cut a piece of parchment paper into a tree shape, lay it on a baking sheet, and arrange cheeses, meats, and sprigs of rosemary.
Cocktails or mocktails are a must at any party. So why not make those drinks look and taste even better with dazzling cranberry ice cubes. All you have to do is drop in some fresh cranberries into your ice cube tray and your drinks will be extra photogenic!
