- Arrange the crescent circles into the shape of a Christmas tree.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
- Using your thumb or the back of a spoon, gently indent the middle of each circle so there is a space for the cream cheese to be placed inside.
- Place a small spoonful of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each crescent circle.
