Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Shape the trees: Gently unroll each cinnamon roll and form the dough into a squiggly triangle to look like a Christmas tree.
  • Bake the rolls: Arrange the shaped trees on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20–23 minutes, until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
  • Let them cool: Remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool for about 5 minutes, making them easier to decorate.
  • Add the tree trunk: Insert a 2-inch piece of pretzel rod into the bottom of each roll to create the crunchy tree stump.
  • Decorate and serve: Drizzle the rolls with icing and top with colorful Christmas sprinkles for a festive finishing touch. Enjoy!
