We do "platter" in this house traditionally. We've spent the afternoon prepping veg etc for following day, and we enjoy a relaxed grazing of various treats. With a nice beverage for everyone - DD enjoys a rare fizzy drink while DH and I open a bottle of wine.
It's not all these things any 1 year - but a nice selection of things, including some salad-y bits, some meat and fish bits, dips, carb, and maybe some hot bits but mostly cold. And always includes taking out at least 1 if not a few cheeses that form the Christmas cheeseboard. There is almost no prep involved - opening packets from the fridge, or maybe chopping a few carrots or peppers into sticks....throwing a pack of sausage rolls into the oven...slicing bread. And while everyone may not like everything on the table, there is always at least a couple of things that are favourites for each person, and plenty that each person will eat (so the formerly olive hating person could enjoy carrot sticks and cherry tomatoes instead and just taste an olive if they wanted but leave it behind if they didn't like it - note the "formerly" … 
).
Things like: (And remember - it's a few from each category each year - not everything in any 1 year)
Meat: slices of Parma ham, salami, braseola, cooked ham, spiced beef, pastrami, ….
Fish: salmon, cooked prawns, cooked squid rings, smoked salmon pate...
Pate: (smoked salmon), duck, chicken liver etc (only ever 1 type of pate any year)
Salad: cherry tomatoes, olives, carrot sticks, pepper sticks, salad leaves
Cheese:
Carb: nice crackers (various types), oat cakes, breadsticks, crusty French stick, proper brown soda bread...
Dips: Hummus, salsa, sour cream and chive, guacamole....
Hot: sausage rolls, maybe some seafood bits from M&S, mozzarella sticks, …
Any leftovers are enjoyed over the next few days, so I am not worried about having a good selection.
