“Savory girl snack plates” make sensation holiday platters for your 2026 Christmas spreads!

Diamonds, if you’ve been on TikTok at all recently, you have come across many talented influencers piling their plates in the early evenings after work with succulent, salty snacks to pick on while they unwind after a long day at the office, or on the job. There’s no better way to treat yourself and decompress during the holidays than to sit down solo, on the sofa, staring at your favorite Christmas movie that you’ve seen 100 times over again, with the greatest snack platter, filled with the most amazing appetizers of all time.

Stunning snacks are the key to happiness this holiday season!

Let me break this platter down for you, snack by snack!

• Everyone and I mean everyone is filling their plates with tzatziki, and I totally understand why! It is a condiment used for this savory platter. It’s the spread of all spreads! It goes with everything and even if you don’t think you’ll like it, you will. It’s that kind of dip. Greek yogurt, dill, and cucumbers marry one another to become completely united! It’s the king of the “dish’.. or should I say queen?! Regardless, it’s needed and it’s perfect!
• Toasty hash brown patties. You can use mini hash browns if you’d like them bite sized, or you can even used tater tots if that is what you have on hand. You can make these in the oven or air fryer. I wouldn’t fry them because they soak up a lot of grease and you definitely do not want them greasy and gross!
• Large pimento olives. I always loved pimento olives. They’re very nostalgic to me and they have the best bite of brine.
• Mozzarella sticks. Farm Fresh has the best frozen ones I have ever tasted! You can purchase them right from the fryer from your local pizzeria as well which is the best case scenario if you want them hot and stringy!
• Boneless wings and crispy chicken tenders. I picked these up fresh from the hot bar in a grocery store a few blocks from my house. You can also order them from your neighborhood pub that’s voted best wings in town!
• Vegetable pesto and regular basil pesto. The imported brands are the best, hands down.
• Cream cheese stuffed picante peppers. Aldi’s has been known to carry the best, but you go for whatever peppers you prefer. I know that the chopped chilis and pepperoncini’s are mega popular at the moment, especially if you can handle the heat.
• Cold, refreshing cucumbers- peeled and deseeded. Garnished with EVOO and asiago everything but the bagel seasoning.
• Seared zucchini. Seasoned with sea salt, cracked black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
• Freshly sliced mozzarella. Drizzled with EVOO and dried oregano.
• Pepperoni pizza cheese. The taste of this is very unique.
• Triple creme Brie cheese topped with hot pepper jelly.
• Peppered salami.
• Hot Capicola.
• Prosuitto. If you prefer different cold cuts and cured meats, you can mix and match for your own person platter this holiday season!

Now that you are fully aware of what I have this platter filled to the tippy top with, you have enough knowledge and ideas to go ahead and concoct your own masterpiece! You can use two of the same things I did, or you can copy this exact plate. It’s totally up to you, but you get the concept! We are all familiar with a charcuterie board, however, this is a tad different in the sense that there Is absolutely nothing sweet going on. When I’m putting a charcuterie board together , I am always adding in some kind of goody or a chocolate bite, as well as fruit that is in season or on theme. This does not contain that at all. There is no combining sweet and savory to obtain the best bite known to man. There is only savory to pile on savory, which sometimes is technically harder to master what salty flavors go well with other salty flavors to give it a distinct profile in which you’ve never really experienced before. The point of this platter is to stack savory on salty, briny on tangy, and creamy on crusty!

This platter couldn’t be more perfect for this holiday season. You and your guests will be fighting over the last couple bites! If you are a savory lover, there is no doubt in my mind that you’ll love this masterpiece. As I mentioned before as well, yours does not have to equal mine. It can be the same, but different. The concept is identical, yet the pieces aren’t alike and that is definitely okay!
