01 -
Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
02 -
Add five 3-ounce Christmas Tree Cakes (or eight from 8.52-ounce boxes) to the bowl. Mix lightly until partially combined.
03 -
Pour in 0.25 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly until the cakes are incorporated.

Add 8 ounces of thawed whipped topping to the bowl. Gently fold until combined; some small cake pieces may remain for texture.

Transfer dip to a serving dish. Garnish with an additional Christmas Tree Cake and festive sprinkles. Serve with graham crackers, Nilla wafers, or pretzels for dipping.
# Extra Suggestions:

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth base; overmixing after adding Cool Whip may deflate the dip's airy texture.
