The lighter Christmas meal is a welcome contrast from this frigid, pizza-style appetizer.

Delicious! I did end up with almost exactly twice as much topping as needed so if I make it again I will definitely cut it in half. I forgot to add the cheddar cheese and it was still wonderful. Maybe I’m missing something obvious, but I didn’t find making the crescent triangles into a tree shape to be intuitive, I pressed the seams together and kind of winged it.
