Spinach Dip Stuffed Crescent Roll Christmas Tree

Holiday appetizers don’t get any more festive than is easy Spinach Dip Stuffed Crescent Roll Christmas Tree! Super cute and oh so delicious, this fun party appetizer will get ooh’s and ahh’s from everyone. I prep mine and head of time and refrigerate until I’m ready to bake. It cuts down on the last minute prep work when I’m hosting our annual holiday party. Everyone loves pulling apart the tree to get a bite and I love how festive it looks!

When I first got married, I was so excited to start hosting parties with my husband in our home. You know, like real adults do. I was at the point in my life where I was ready to let go of the keg drinking college parties and move on to classy shindigs complete with expensive wine and fancy finger foods. For my first few parties, I would plan for days, weeks even, to get the menu just right. I wanted everything to be just perfect now that I was adulting!

Years have passed since I first started hosting parties and, while I am still a bit of a perfectionist, I am definitely a little more relaxed about the planning part. I think that’s mostly because I am a little more comfortable with my cooking skills than I was 15 years ago when I first got married! Making homemade spinach dip was a big deal for me back then when I first started getting comfortable with cooking, but now making a simple spinach dip seems easy peasy.  When I host parties these days, I can get a little more creative with my cooking and turn that spinach dip into something really special for my party.
