Sweet and tangy with a little extra warmth – this cranberry sauce pairs perfectly with holiday dinner, as a dip in a platter, or with desserts. Simple, but impressive and so much better than your typical store bought cranberry sauce.  The best festive boozy cranberry sauce is the perfect pairing with a vegan charcuterie board and our simple & festive Christmas sangria.

How To Make The Perfect Vegan Snack Board

A charcuterie board I feel like is a great staple for any gathering. It’s usually fairly easy to create and guests love it! I have a few staples that I like to use to create an amazing board.

• Start with a few different types of crackers & bread
• Add an assortment of fruit like grapes & pomegranates (I like to use stuff that’s in season)
• Add veggies you can also add some veggies like carrots, peppers & celery
• Dips like our boozy cranberry sauce and of course hummus
• Olives & pickles
• Vegan Cheese
• Assortment of nuts

Then throw everything on a cute board and you have a great snack for your guests that’s super simple!
