Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls
  • Christmas Sprinkles, as desired
  • Icing (included in the cinnamon roll can)


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking.
  2. Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  3. Separate Rolls: Open the cinnamon roll can and pull apart the 5 individual rolls.
  4. Shape Christmas Tree: Unravel each cinnamon roll and weave the dough back and forth on the baking pan, arranging the strips to form a tree shape.
  5. Secure Dough: Pinch the edges of the dough tree slightly together so it holds its shape during baking and doesn’t come undone.
  6. Adjust if Needed: If the tree starts separating while baking, carefully remove from the oven and gently push the dough back together.
  7. Bake: Bake for 23-27 minutes or until the cinnamon roll tree is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes to set.
  9. Decorate and Serve: Add the included icing and Christmas sprinkles evenly over the baked cinnamon roll tree, then enjoy your festive treat!

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easier cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  • Pinching the dough together well helps maintain the tree shape during baking.
  • Customize decorations with different colored sprinkles or edible glitter for extra festive flair.
  • Serve warm for best taste and gooey texture.
  • This recipe is kid-friendly and great for holiday activities.
