Celebrate New Year’s Eve at home in style with a beautiful Charcuterie Graze box. If you’re on the North Shore, Folia has some great festive Grazing boxes including a hot chocolate option.

Graze in Burnaby caters to Vancouver and also has beautiful seasonal savoury and sweet Graze boxes. As does Frolic & Forage Catering in East Van. You can find their Graze box options under the Canapes section, or contact them directly for a custom box.

In our opinion, enjoying a fun charcuterie board at home, cozied up by a warm fire, and playing family games while wearing PJ’s sounds like a fun and low key way to ring in 2023.
