How to shop Costco for a holiday board
- Go early in the week before the party. Holiday items show up from late October and stock thins fast.
- One big brie, one cranberry cheese, one hard cheese covers 15 to 20 guests: the Kirkland brie wheel, cranberry goat cheese and the Kirkland Manchego.
- Split the big packs between two boards, or freeze extra crackers and nuts for New Year's Eve.
- Costco is closed on Thanksgiving (Nov 26) and Christmas Day (Dec 25), 2026.

Costco holiday questions
Does Costco sell charcuterie trays?
Yes. In warehouses there's the Fratelli Beretta Charcuterie Kit, a pre-plated tray. Costco.com sells shipped boards such as Luxe Bites, and the deli has sold a Fruit, Meat and Cheese Party Platter since 2023.
How much is the Costco charcuterie board?
The Beretta Charcuterie Kit was tracked at about $25 in October 2026. The deli party platter was $39.99 when last reported in 2024. Shipped boards run higher; the Wisconsin Select bundle is $179.99.
How many people does a Costco tray serve?
The deli party platter is advertised for 18 to 24 people, and the shipped Luxe Bites board for 5 to 6. Costco doesn't give a serving count for the Beretta kit; plan on it as one board for a small group.
When do Costco holiday items arrive?
From late October. Baked brie, Raincoast Crisps and the Beretta kit all first appeared in the last week of October in recent years, and they sell out, so buy a week or two before the party.
Is Costco open on Thanksgiving and Christmas?
No. US warehouses are closed on Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 26, 2026) and Christmas Day (Friday, December 25). Hours on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve can differ, so check your warehouse.
