This Antipasto Christmas Wreath is the cutest holiday appetizer! It’s ready in just a few minutes and is a lot of fun to make.

It’s a show-stopping, beautiful dish to serve for a Christmas party or dinner.

Why You Should Make this Antipasto Wreath

Beyond the fact that this is a beautiful and festive appetizer recipe, this antipasto wreath is so easy to make. It’s literally as simple as assembling your skewers with a mixture of olives, tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and salami.

Then you get to lay out the skewers on a plate and garnish with rosemary for a very festive looking dish. It’s so fun to serve this to people (everyone will ooh and ahh!) and it can easily be prepared in advance.

What is Antipasto?

Antipasto is the first course of an Italian meal (it means “before pasta”) and typically refers to a small plate of meat, cheese, pickled vegetables, and olives.

Instead of serving our antipasto on a plate, we’ve added them to skewers for this recipe.
