Y’all!!! It is the most wonderful time of year and I couldn’t be more excited!! If you have been a fan of Kitchen Concoctions for any amount of time you know that my love of the holidays, whether it be Valentine’s Day, Halloween or Thanksgiving, runs deep; but my love for Christmas is its own kind of, well let’s just say, special enthusiasm! LOL!
My Mom always made this time of year super magical by decorating the “halls” to the nine and having special traditions like making buckets and buckets of decorated sugar cookies, decorating the Christmas Tree, getting us matching pjs and letting us gather around the fireplace and read boatloads of holiday themed books, even if it meant cranking down the AC to have a fire during a typical Texas December heatwave!
Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza
Then when I met my husband, we took some of our favorite traditions from both of our families and started our own to make this time of year unique and memorable for us.
In addition to all the fun activities and traditions, our favorite part about the holiday season is being able to get together with all our friends and family for special holiday parties and gatherings. Both of our families have their own one of a kind holiday parties, and it is a delight and honor to have the opportunity to attend them every year, as these get togethers have been happening for generations! My husband and I also started hosting our own holiday party, with our friends many years ago; and the holiday season wouldn’t be the same without it!
Because of all the holiday parties we attend, I am always looking for new dessert and appetizer recipes to make and bonus points if they are uber festive, yet still taste delicious. That’s how this recipe for Christmas Tree Veggie Pizza was born. It is a holiday version of that “old school” cold veggie pizza; you know the one from the 80’s and 90’s made using crescent rolls, cream cheese and assorted raw vegetables.

In addition to making the classic crescent roll veggie pizza more festive by making it into a Christmas Tree, I added a little kick of flavor by mixing RO*TEL® Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies into the cream cheese mixture. I always have RO*TEL® Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies stocked in my pantry since it is a staple ingredient in so many of our favorite recipes, like my homemade salsa, Chicken Tortilla Soup and Slow Cooker Jalapeno Popper White Bean Chicken Chili; and it made a wonderful addition to this other favorite recipe!
This Christmas Tree Veggie Pizza has become one of our go to appetizer recipes for our white elephant party, and I CANNOT wait to make it this weekend when we officially kick off the month of December by hosting this year’s party!

Tree Shaped Crescent Veggie Appetizer Recipe
Cook’s Tip– Since all of these vegetables need to be chopped small, using the food processor is a great way to cut most of the vegetables and can help make this appetizer come together faster.
Yes you can totally use plain cream cheese or any savory cream cheese you like in the veggie pizza appetizer. I used the chive cream cheese as a shortcut here but any savory flavored cream cheese works, whipped or not.
Using whipped cream cheese simply means the cream cheese will be easier to spread. You can use any savory flavor of cream cheese. To spread the cream cheese you’ll need to let it come to room temperature to mix it with the sour cream to make a spread. See the tips above for modifying for a plain cream cheese block.

Some versions do add cheddar cheese to veggie pizza, and you can too if you prefer. If mixing cheddar cheese into the cream cheese spread simply add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the cream cheese spread before adding it to the pizza appetizer.
Veggie Pizza is best stored in the refrigerator. You can store it covered straight on the pan to maintain the tree shape, or place slices in a sealed and covered airtight container.
Veggie pizza can be made ahead of time. It’s best to make it no more than 24 hours in advance so everything tastes fresh.
