If you’re looking for a quick and festive treat to make this holiday season, these Cinnamon Roll Christmas Trees are the perfect option! They take just one tube of cinnamon rolls, a little food coloring, and a sprinkle of creativity — making them an adorable (and delicious!) Christmas morning breakfast or fun baking activity with the kids.

🧁 What You’ll Need:

• 1 tube of cinnamon rolls (any brand you like)
• Green food coloring
• Festive holiday sprinkles
• Nonstick cooking spray or butter (for greasing your pan)

🎅 How to Make Cinnamon Roll Christmas Trees:

Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven according to the directions on your cinnamon roll package.

Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

The Shape the Trees

Open the tube of cinnamon rolls and carefully unroll each one into a long strip.

Starting at one end, zig-zag the strip back and forth to create a Christmas tree shape (wider at the bottom, narrow at the top).

Place each shaped roll onto your greased pan.

Bake

Bake according to the package instructions, keeping an eye on them — you want them golden brown and fluffy!

Warm the Icing

While your cinnamon roll trees are baking, warm the icing that came in the tube.

You can pop it in the microwave for about 10–15 seconds or heat it gently on the stovetop over low heat until it’s pourable.

Add Holiday Magic

Once the cinnamon rolls are baked, let them cool for a few minutes.

Then, stir a few drops of green food coloring into your warm icing.

Drizzle the green icing over your cinnamon roll trees and top with festive sprinkles — think red, gold, or even little star-shaped ones!

✨ Optional Ideas:

Add a small candy star or yellow sprinkle at the top of each tree. Serve with hot cocoa for an extra cozy touch. Try cream cheese frosting for an extra-rich twist!

These Cinnamon Roll Christmas Trees are as easy as they are adorable — perfect for busy mornings, classroom parties, or cozy weekends at home. They’ll fill your kitchen with that irresistible cinnamon scent and holiday cheer!
