Why it works
New Year's Eve is a long night, so this board mixes snacks that hold up: triple-crème brie and aged Gouda, prosciutto, smoked salmon on blini with crème fraîche and chives, fig jam and Marcona almonds.
Twenty-four green grapes are for the Spanish tradition of eating twelve at midnight, one for each chime. Chocolate truffles and pomegranate seeds make it feel like a party, and any dry sparkling wine works.
Timeline

Questions
What goes on a New Year's Eve board for two?
A creamy cheese and an aged one, prosciutto, smoked salmon, blini with crème fraîche and chives, fig jam, almonds, pomegranate seeds, chocolate truffles and green grapes for midnight.
What is the twelve grapes tradition?
In Spain, people eat one grape on each of the twelve chimes at midnight for good luck in each month of the new year.
Can I make it ahead?
Prep the toppings in the afternoon and build the board about 30 minutes before you sit down. Refill from the fridge before midnight so nothing sits out longer than 2 hours.
