If you've been on Disney+ lately, there's no way to miss the delightful movie Encanto. My kids were begging to watch it so we finally found the time. The art and storyline were all "magical!" Of course, the soundtrack is great because it was written by Lin Manuel Miranda. My daughter is a huge fan and her favorite song is, "We don't talk about Bruno." I won't give away any more because you will have to watch it for yourself. I decided it was time for me to make a food art lunch to celebrate this fun family Disney movie!

A Snoopy Christmas Food Art Lunch Recipe

 

Who doesn't love Snoopy at Christmas? Whether you watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, read Peanuts, or just enjoy everything Snoopy, this can be a fun and unexpected lunch! Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the Peanuts gang are iconic and can make a great holiday recipe whether it's in a lunchbox or a snack during Christmas break.

For the side dishes, I just used some holiday-themed snacks that I found at the grocery store. The snowflakes are chips and the tree is a marshmallow dessert.

A Festive Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board Recipe for the Holidays

This is a sponsored post in partnership with Red Sun Farms. All opinions are my own. 

Charcuterie boards are some of the easiest meals to assemble and tastiest experiences you can have during the holidays. On every food board, you can provide enough variety to satisfy the pickiest kid and the most discerning palate in every family. This "Charcute-Tree" is no different. The trick is to start with some festive red or green foods which is why I used Red Sun Farms Tomatoes on the Vine to provide the seasonal flair.

Red Sun Farms tomatoes are sweet, juicy, and readily available at our local store. No matter the season, these are our go-to tomatoes! Make sure to look for them whenever you need fresh tomatoes, peppers, or cucumbers for any recipe.
