How to Make Little Debbie Christmas Tree Dip Snack Board

Prep Time: 25 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 55 minutes
Servings: 10

First, cut up the Little Debbie snack cakes into 1-inch chunks and set aside.
Next add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Beat together with a mixer until thoroughly combined and fluffy. Once those are creamed together, add the chopped snack cakes to the bowl and beat together.
Add 8 ounces (1 container of thawed Cool Whip) to the bowl and fold in until combined. (Do not beat in, fold. This will keep the dip fluffy!)
Place the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to give it time to set up.
Grab a platter or clean cutting board and dollop the cold christmas tree dip onto the platter in a tree/pyramid shape. Use an offset spatula to smooth out the dip and form a full christmas tree shape.
Once the tree shape is made, clean off and use the offset spatula to spread the second tub of cool whip over top and around the edges of the cake dip and smooth it out.
Next sprinkle on the green sprinkles over top of the tree and pipe on the red buttercream frosting in a pattern that mimics a Little Debbie snack cake!
Serve with an assortment of cookies and enjoy!

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

Can This Be Frozen?

I think this recipe tastes better fresh but if you want to try freezing it then go for it. Before adding the Cool Whip and decorations, wrap the Christmas Tree Dip tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Thaw it in the refrigerator for a day before serving, and you’ll have an instant festive hit!

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Absolutely! In fact, making this ahead of time is a smart move to minimize stress during your holiday festivities. Whip up the dip and shape it into the Christmas tree form. Cover it with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator. When it’s showtime, add the Cool Whip and decorations for a finishing touch.

Substitutions & Variations:

Flavor Twists: Experiment with different Little Debbie cake flavors for a unique twist. Chocolate lovers, imagine a tree-shaped dip adorned with fudgy goodness!
Cookie Swap: Don’t limit yourself to traditional cookies. Consider pairing the dip with your favorite holiday-themed cookies for an extra-special touch.

Helpful Cooking Notes:

Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Soften the cream cheese before starting. It blends more easily, creating a smoother and fluffier dip.
Creative Piping: When piping on the red buttercream frosting, let your artistic side shine. Whether it’s zigzags or swirls, have fun making your Christmas tree uniquely yours.
