Serve up your raw veggies tray the Christmas way. Use broccoli florets to make a Christmas tree shape and add grape or cherry tomatoes as ornaments. You can also add strips of yellow pepper as strands of lights. Cut a star shape from yellow bell pepper to use on the top of your tree. Use a handful of pretzel sticks (or a piece of a celery stalk) as your tree trunk. Finally, add a touch of cauliflower florets as snow under the tree.
