Talk about festive! While the cakes are delicious, this dip is absolutely amazing. It’s light, creamy, fluffy, and can be served with a variety of dippers. Which makes it a fun addition to your holiday celebrations. Cakes make some of the yummiest desserts like these Gingerbread Cake Pops.

If you’re into making dessert charcuterie boards, this dip would be a great addition, especially for the holidays. You may also want to try my s’mores dip or marshmallow fruit dip for your party menu.

VARIATIONS

Garnish with holiday sprinkles if desired.
For a chocolate version, use the chocolate Christmas tree cakes.
Make this dip year round for all occasions by swapping out the cakes for Zebra cakes, Unicorn cakes, Birthday cakes, Frosted Fudge, or Fancy cakes. Garnish with coordinating sprinkles for a more festive look.

Tips for Making

Allowing the cream cheese to soften makes it easier to blend the mixture.
The whipped topping needs to be thawed before making this recipe.
While we like a little more texture in this dip, you can use a food processor to make a smoother dip.
Wait until you’re ready to serve to add the sprinkles. The colors tend to melt when they come in contact with the dip. Jimmy sprinkles are the least likely to melt (these are the long and skinny kind).
This recipe can be doubled or cut in half this depending on how big of a crowd you’re serving.

How to Store

This dip is best eaten within the first 24-48 hours of making it.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Don’t leave dip out more than 2 hours. In addition to the cream cheese needing to stay cool, the whipped topping tends to flatten out and won’t be as fluffy.

Where to find Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes

These are a seasonal item and can be found at most grocery stores. I’ve also found them at Walmart and Target. They can also be ordered online if you can’t find them locally.

The original recipe can be found on the back of the Christmas cake box.
