Spinach & Cream Cheese Christmas Wreath
I may have just found the perfect holiday appetizer! This Spinach & Cream Cheese Christmas Wreath is a delectible and delicious festive treat that’s perfect for holiday parties!
It’s made with frozen spinach and cream cheese and blended with parmesan and mozzarella cheeses and seasonings to create a savory filling that literally bursts with flavor. The cream cheese and spinach mixture is encased in flaky crescent roll dough and brushed with melted butter infused with thyme, then baked to golden perfection at 375 degrees.
The beautiful wreath shape makes it a fabulous centerpiece for any holiday table, and its rich, cheesy goodness makes it an irresistible appetizer for Christmas brunch or party gatherings. Whether served warm or at room temperature, this delectable dish is sure to become a holiday tradition at your house!
The Spinach & Cream Cheese Wreath is plated on an Old St. Nick Platter from Vietri (love this square one too) and on top of a vintage pizza board. Let the wreath cool slightly before sliding it off of the baking sheet and onto a platter. I promise this will be the first thing to go at your party!
I added a video that shows how I formed the wreath to make it easier for you!

Spinach Dip Christmas Wreath
Ingredients
- 10 ounces frozen spinach (thawed and very well drained...put in paper towels and squeeze until all the moisture is out)
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup grated Mozzarella cheese
- 2 tubes Cresent roll dough
- 2 Tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning for butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, mix spinach, cream cheese, garlic, seasonings, Parmesan and Mozzarella
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Put a small bowl (6 inches) in the center of the bowl. Unroll crescent dough and place in a circle on baking sheet around the bowl with the pointed end of the rolls facing the edges of the baking sheet. You want to make a solid surface around the bowl to place the cream cheese mixture.
- Remove the bowl and spoon cream cheese mixure around the inside of the circle. Fold the pointed end of the dough over the cream cheese mixture to form a wreath.
- Brush dough with melted butter and Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
