For cheese-and-olive skewers, alternately thread mozzarella pearls, cocktail onions, stuffed olives, and capers onto toothpicks; set aside. For garnish, if desired, cut mozzarella slices into snowflakes using a snowflake-shaped cookie cutter; set aside.
To assemble the board, place 3 large white dinner plates in a row on a large rectangle-shaped charcuterie board. Arrange popcorn garland and rosemary sprigs around the plates.
Place Burrata in center of top plate; arrange half of the Brie wedges and Gouda curds around Burrata. Top Burrata with shredded Parmesan cheese.
Place mozzarella ball in center of bottom plate; arrange spreadable cheese wedges around mozzarella ball; place smaller blue cheese wedges on top spreadable cheese wedges, then arrange remaining Brie wedges around mozzarella ball. Top cheese wedges with shaved Parmesan cheese.
For center plate, arrange cheese-and-olive skewers in a circle on the plate. Place a Babybel cheese round in the center. Cut fresh mozzarella cheese slices in half to form half-moon shapes. Place a half-moon slice in between each of the skewers.
Arrange assorted crackers and crostini around the plates on the charcuterie board. Garnish with mozzarella snowflakes, dried cranberries, and assorted nuts.
