There is something about the arrival of winter weather that just calls for cheese, and, as the Christmas season takes hold, the promise of wine and cheese parties is just around the corner. Stilton, cheddar, and brie abound, there is no end in sight to the delicious (or should we say brielicious) season of cheese! 

But there's more to a cheese party than your typical, carefully selected cheese board. What about the dips? Those creamy, steamy, cracker-happy dips? What about the cheesecakes or the unexpectedly divine dance of sweet and savoury flavours that is a cheddar cookie? From the fanciest of cheese balls to the humble cheese straw, we invite you to dream big this cheese season!  

So, without further ado, we present to you our ultimate list of festive cheese snacks for your next wine and cheese get-together...or, you know, your next Thursday night at home watching Netflix... ;)
