Main Ingredients

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