What dough works best for the base?

Refrigerated crescent roll dough creates a flaky, golden base that holds the toppings well.

Can I substitute the cream cheese spread ingredients?

Yes, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream for a lighter version without sacrificing flavor.

Use a variety of fresh vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, and olives to create vibrant, festive decorations.

Serving chilled enhances the creamy spread's texture and melds the flavors nicely, making it ideal for gatherings.

Absolutely! Feel free to swap vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal taste.

This is a fun holiday recipe I enjoy making with my family each year. It brings everyone together to decorate and share.

Base: 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough
Cream Cheese Spread: 8 oz cream cheese, softened, ½ cup sour cream, 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
Vegetables: ½ cup broccoli florets, finely chopped, ½ cup red bell pepper, diced, ½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced, ½ cup cherry tomatoes, quartered, ¼ cup black olives, sliced, 2 green onions, thinly sliced, ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Decoration: 1 small carrot, cut into thin strips (for garland), 1 yellow bell pepper slice (for star)

Step 1:: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2:: On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange crescent roll dough triangles to form a large triangle (tree shape). Press seams together and shape the edges, trimming as needed.
Step 3:: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
Step 4:: In a medium bowl, mix cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth.
Step 5:: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crescent roll base.
Step 6:: Decorate with broccoli as branches, peppers and tomatoes as ornaments, and olives and green onions as accents. Use carrot strips as garlands and a yellow bell pepper slice as the trees star. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
Step 7:: Chill for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
