Ingredients

- Icing (included in the cinnamon roll can)
- Christmas Sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the cinnamon rolls.
- Prepare Baking Pan: Spray a baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Separate Cinnamon Rolls: Open the cinnamon roll can and carefully pull apart the 5 individual rolls.
- Shape the Tree: Unravel each cinnamon roll one at a time and weave the dough back and forth on the baking pan, shaping it into a Christmas tree form.
- Secure the Tree: Gently pinch the dough in areas where it might come apart to ensure the shape holds during baking.
- Adjust if Needed: While baking, if the tree starts to separate, carefully remove it from the oven and gently press the dough back together.
- Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 23-27 minutes or until the cinnamon rolls are golden brown.
- Cool Slightly: Remove the tree from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before decorating.
- Decorate: Drizzle the included icing over the cinnamon rolls and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles to add festive flair.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve warm and enjoy your delicious holiday cinnamon roll tree!
Notes
- Make sure to pinch the edges well so the rolls hold their tree shape during baking.
- You can substitute Pillsbury Grands! Cinnamon Rolls with your favorite cinnamon roll dough if preferred.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some cinnamon or colored sugar before baking.
- Let the rolls cool slightly before icing to avoid melting the decorations.
- Use a spatula to carefully lift the tree from the pan if you want to transfer it to a serving platter.
