Recipe Tips

Cut cream cheese diagonally in half to make 2 triangles. Place triangles, with 2 long sides together, on 12-inch-long sheet of plastic wrap to resemble a tree as shown in photo. Cover with second sheet of plastic wrap.

Press onto top sheet of plastic wrap to flatten cream cheese into 7-inch-tall tree with 6-inch-wide base. Peel off and discard top sheet of plastic wrap. Invert cream cheese tree onto serving plate; remove and discard remaining plastic wrap sheet.

Mash avocado in medium bowl. Add mayonnaise and lime juice; mix well. Spread over cream cheese.

Cut 3 thin slices from pepper; place on top of tree. Seed and chop remaining pepper. Decorate with chopped peppers, tomato halves and sliced onions to resemble a holiday tree.

Place 8 crackers, in 2 stacks of 4 crackers each, at base of tree for the trunk.

Serve with additional crackers.
