Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the cake mix, vanilla extract, and whipped topping, mixing well until combined.
- If you want a festive green color, add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until the dip is evenly colored.
- Stir in mini chocolate chips and rainbow sprinkles for a fun texture and pop of color.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and use pretzel sticks or graham crackers for dipping.
- Decorate the top of the dip with extra sprinkles and chocolate chips to resemble a Christmas tree shape, if desired.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors blend and the dip firm up slightly.
Notes
- Add more food coloring for a deeper green if desired.
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle some crushed graham crackers on top to mimic tree bark.
- If you prefer a lighter dip, use low-fat or fat-free whipped topping and cream cheese.
- Make this ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to serve for convenience.
