Decorating gingerbread houses is one of my favorite holiday traditions. We decorate haunted cookie houses at Halloween, traditional gingerbread houses at Christmas, and now, charcuterie houses at Thanksgiving. Yes, you read that right: The latest holiday food trend involves swapping out gingerbread, icing, and candy for cold cuts, cheese cubes, and fresh veggies.
We’ve even seen Thanksgiving charcuterie boards (here are 9 you should try this season), but this tasty trend takes things to a whole new level. Charcuterie chalets (as folks online are calling them) aren’t totally new, but we’re starting to see more of them as we get closer to Thanksgiving—perhaps because people are spending more time at home and looking for new Thanksgiving traditions to start this year.
