Begin by using a small star cookie cutter to cut out star shapes from a thick slice of cucumber, creating the base of your Christmas Tree Sandwiches. Aim for about three to four pieces, ensuring they are uniform in size for a tidy presentation. Place them on a clean cutting board while you prepare the next components.

Next, halve a cherry tomato, which will serve as the trunk of your adorable sandwich trees. Secure the halved tomato to a cocktail stick with the cut side facing down.

Take a small piece of lettuce and roll it up tightly, then place it on top of the halved cherry tomato on the cocktail stick.

Use a larger star cookie cutter to cut star shapes from sliced bread, which will form a lovely layering structure for your Christmas Tree Sandwiches.

Next, stack three thin slices of ham and cut them into star shapes, just like you did with the bread. Repeat this process with your cheese slices.

Begin assembling your Christmas Tree Sandwiches by stacking the bread star, followed by a ham star and then a cheese star on the cocktail stick positioned above the cucumber base.

Finally, finish your Christmas Tree Sandwiches by adding a smaller piece of cucumber on top of the stacked layers for stability. Create a star from red pepper and secure it on top with the same cocktail stick.
