Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup whipped topping
3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 tbsp holiday sprinkles
1/3 cup red and green candy pieces
1 tbsp powdered sugar for garnish
24 sugar cookies for serving
12 gingerbread cookies for serving
12 graham crackers for serving
1 cup mini pretzels for serving
Instructions
1. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes so it blends smoothly.
2. Add the softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat until completely creamy.
3. Mix in the powdered sugar and brown sugar until the texture is smooth and fluffy.
4. Add the vanilla extract and beat again until fully combined.
5. Gently fold in the whipped topping to keep the dip light and airy.
6. Stir in the mini chocolate chips so they are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
7. Spoon the dip into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
8. Create soft swirls on the surface for a festive presentation.
9. Sprinkle the top with holiday sprinkles, red and green candy pieces, and a few extra mini chocolate chips if desired.
10. Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy holiday finish.
11. Chill for 30 minutes if you want a thicker texture and more blended flavor.
12. Serve with sugar cookies, gingerbread cookies, graham crackers, and pretzels.
Notes
Use fully softened cream cheese so the dip turns out smooth and creamy without lumps.
Fold in the whipped topping gently instead of beating it too hard, or the dip can lose its fluffy texture.
Add the sprinkles and candy pieces right before serving so the colors stay bright and the toppings keep their crunch.
