Notes

For the best flavor and texture, make sure your cream cheese is completely softened before mixing. This will prevent lumps and ensure a smooth, creamy base. Don’t be afraid to get creative with your decorations! Other options include using different colored bell peppers, black olives, or even small pieces of cheese cut into festive shapes. If you are preparing the tree in advance, wrap the assembled tree tightly with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator to prevent the vegetables from drying out. Consider using a pastry bag to pipe the cream cheese for precise shaping. Finally, avoid overly saturating your veggies, because moist from the veggies can quickly turn into a soggy mess.
