5 Bring-A-Board Ideas For Stress-Free Holiday Hosting
Make hosting a breeze with a 'bring-a-board'-themed party.
We're all for any hosting tips that make a night of having friends and family over less stressful. It often comes down to cooking and cleaning. And one trend we've seen that grow over the past year that helps tackle both of these hurdles is asking everyone to bring their own board.
What is a 'Bring-a-Board' Party?
Think of it like an aesthetic potluck. Instead of asking everyone to bring a dish, have people arrange a board with food. Playing off of the surge in popularity of charcuterie boards over the last decade, these boards follow a theme (think: veggies, cookies, etc.) and create a beautiful snack-filled spread that's easy to graze on while spending time with loved ones.

Instead of adding to the mounds of food that will most likely be taking over the table, offer a beverage-style board. This one with hot chocolate includes fun toppings, flavour add-ins, and even extra chocolate.
