Spinach Dip Christmas Tree Recipe

If you want to make something festive and sure to please a crowd, you have to try this Spinach Dip Christmas Tree! I saw someone do this a long time ago on a TikTok and I knew I had to try it. I am a huge fan of spinach dip and an even bigger fan of aesthetically pleasing holiday foods that are easy!

INGREDIENTS

  • 12 oz Frozen chopped spinach
  • 6 oz cream cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup grated cheddar OR mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tube refrigerated thin crust pizza crust
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

The Crust:

All you need to get started with this recipe is a roll of pizza dough you can buy at any grocery store in the refrigerated section. This makes for such an easy appetizer with practically zero prep time!

The Filling:

Absolutely save the recipe for the filling of this delicious Christmas tree! I love whipping up this dip for any event I have throughout the year and sometimes just to have it for myself! This filing is creamy, and full of savory flavors. It’s one even my kids enjoy.

Making The Tree:

Making the tree may look daunting but it is actually very easy. The first thing you want to do is lay your dough out and cut in half, and then cut both sides of each half to make a triangle.

Lay one triangle on a pan with aluminum foil, put in your filling and lay the second triangle on top.

Cut an equal amount of lines on either side of the triangle. Take each piece that you have just cut and twist in either direction. Then, just pop it in the oven!
