Ingredients

1 can Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
Christmas Sprinkles
Icing

Instructions

Open a can of cinnamon rolls and separate the pieces.
Carefully unroll each cinnamon roll and arrange the dough strips on the baking sheet.
Weave the strips in a zigzag pattern to form a Christmas tree shape.
Pinch the dough together slightly to help it hold its shape during baking.
Bake the tree for 23–27 minutes, or until the dough is puffed and golden brown.
If the shape shifts while baking, gently adjust it mid-bake.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Consider adding a star-shaped cookie or fruit piece at the top for decoration.

What To Avoid While Making this Recipe?

Avoid unrolling the cinnamon rolls too thinly, as they might break or lose their structure when shaped into a tree.
Avoid skipping the step of pinching the dough together; this helps the tree hold its shape while baking.
Avoid overcrowding the baking pan, as the rolls need space to puff up evenly without sticking together.
Avoid overbaking, as this can result in a dry and less gooey cinnamon roll tree.
