Make the Spiced Yoghurt Dip: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk until completely smooth and creamy. Cover and place in the fridge to chill while you prepare the fruit.

Prepare the Fruit: Wash all your fruit thoroughly and pat it dry. Hull the strawberries by removing the green leafy tops with a small knife. Peel the kiwi fruits and slice them into 1cm thick rounds. Slice the banana into 1cm thick rounds and immediately toss them in the lemon juice. Cut the melon into 1cm thick slices.

Cut the Stars: Using a small, star-shaped cookie cutter, press firmly into the slices of melon or apple to create at least 8-10 little stars for the tops of your 'tree' skewers.

Assemble the 'Grinch' Skewers: Take a skewer and thread on a green grape first. Follow this with a slice of banana. Next, add a whole strawberry, positioning it so it looks like a Santa hat on top of the banana slice. Finally, poke the very tip of the skewer through a mini marshmallow to place it on the point of the strawberry 'hat'. Repeat to make 4-5 Grinch skewers.

Assemble the Festive Tree Skewers: On a new skewer, thread on a raspberry, then a grape. Next, add a round slice of kiwi. Add another grape, followed by a slightly smaller piece of kiwi if you can manage it, to create a tapered tree shape. Top the skewer with one of your melon or apple stars.

Create Assorted Holiday Skewers: Use the remaining fruit to create a variety of colourful skewers. I find that a simple pattern of strawberry, grape, kiwi, and raspberry always looks beautiful. This is where you can get creative!

Arrange and Serve: Arrange all your completed Christmas Fruit Skewers on a large platter or board. Place the chilled bowl of spiced yoghurt dip in the centre. For a final festive flourish, scatter a handful of jewel-like pomegranate seeds over the platter. Serve immediately.
