Recipe variations and substitute ideas

  • Zebra Cakes - If you can't find any Christmas Tree Cakes you could use any, like Zebra Cakes.
  • Sprinkles - if you have just green sprinkles or just red that'll be fine.
  • Vanilla Extract - add a teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Sour Cream - add this instead of the marshmallow fluff.
  • Yellow Cake Mix - add this instead of the Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes.

I love to use my stand mixer to make a dip like this one. I have an affiliate link in the recipe card below.

You'll need a serving bowl to serve the dip in and a plate for the dipping snacks.

How to store leftovers

If you have any left (which I never do) store in an airtight container in the freezer, for up to 4 days. You could also cover the bowl in plastic wrap.

Mel's kitchen notes

If you don't have a stand mixer it's ok, you can use a hand mixer, or even chop up the trees by hand then mix up with a spoon. You'll have to use some elbow grease though. You could also use a food processor.
