    14 Stunning Christmas Fruit Salad

    From stunning fruit trays to our super popular Christmas chocolate salad, these fruit salad recipes are perfect for your Christmas menu. Let the holiday season begin!

    Christmas is just around the corner and once again you’re hosting the big family feast for your family and friends. You’re planning your menu and while you no doubt have to have some traditional Christmas fare, it’s sometimes nice to mix it up a little.

    When it comes to dessert, some of the more traditional Christmas sweet finishes include mince pies, Christmas fruit cake, stollen or a yule log. Down under where we are, we traditionally have pavlova and trifle.

    While these may make an appearance more often than not, we think it’s time to amp up the dessert table with something a little more fresh, fun and easier to put together.

    We love creating fruit salads with a difference. And by different we don’t mean difficult. In fact, they are simple to make. We love adding a little something extra to our well-considered combinations of fruit.

    From tapioca pearls to fairy floss to granita, these fruit salads are perfect for Christmas!

    We also love them because they can either be individually served up or easy enough to pick up by hand. No fuss in terms of having to dish it up and serve it.

    Amongst our fruit salad collection, our most sought after and popular Christmas dessert is our Christmas Chocolate Salad. We promise you that it’s a showstopper and your guests of all ages will love it.

    We hope you’ll find a recipe that will appeal to you. Happy holidays and may you have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones!
