Christmas & Cream Spread: Holiday Magic in 15 Minutes

Tips for Perfect Results (From One Baker to Another)

 Room-temp cream cheese is non-negotiable. It’s the foundation of smoothness.
 Chill before serving. 1 hour = set; 4+ hours = dreamily cohesive.
 Make it ahead. Flavors deepen overnight—tastes even better on Day 2!
 Double the batch. It’s that popular—and freezes well (unfrosted—see note below).
 Say “Ready?” before serving. It’s not superstition—it’s ritual. And rituals make sweets sweeter.
