Cinnamon Roll Christmas Trees

To make cinnamon roll Christmas trees, start by preheating your oven to the temperature indicated on the cinnamon roll packaging. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the cinnamon rolls and set the icing aside. Unwind each cinnamon roll and reshape it into a Christmas tree shape on the parchment paper, squishing the roll together to maintain the shape. Repeat this for all rolls, then bake according to the packaging instructions. Once baked, let them cool slightly before adding icing and Christmas sprinkles.

Yes, cinnamon roll Christmas trees are suitable for vegetarians as they are made from store-bought cinnamon rolls, which typically do not contain meat or animal-derived ingredients. However, always check the packaging for specific dietary information to ensure they meet your dietary needs.

If you want to substitute cinnamon rolls, you can use homemade dough or even puff pastry for a flakier texture. For a gluten-free option, look for gluten-free cinnamon roll dough available in stores, or make your own using gluten-free flour blends.

To store leftover cinnamon roll Christmas trees, place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week. Just be sure to reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving to restore their softness.

Cinnamon roll Christmas trees pair wonderfully with warm beverages like coffee, hot chocolate, or spiced apple cider. For a festive touch, consider serving them with a holiday-themed latte or a glass of eggnog to enhance the seasonal flavors.
