Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Beat until fully combined and light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping with a rubber spatula until no streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix.
- Unwrap the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes. Crumble 4 of the cakes into small pieces directly into the cream cheese mixture. Reserve one cake for garnish, if desired.
- Carefully fold the crumbled Christmas Tree Cakes into the dip until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. If garnishing, crumble the remaining Christmas Tree Cake over the top and sprinkle generously with holiday sprinkles.
- Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly. This makes it even more delicious!
- Serve chilled with your favorite dippers.
