Melt the white baking chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until fully melted.
Fill a piping bag with the melted chocolate.
Lay the pretzel rods on the baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between each pretzel.
Drizzle the white chocolate over the pretzel rods in a zigzag motion to create a triangular shape.
Place the peppermints in a bag and crush them into small pieces. Sprinkle the crushed peppermint over the Christmas trees.
Let the chocolate harden for 45 minutes to an hour before removing the pretzels from the parchment paper.

Notes
Tips
Melt white chocolate in short intervals (about 30 seconds) and stir in between to prevent burning. If it seizes, add a little vegetable oil or coconut oil to smooth it out.
Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for drizzling. If you don’t have one, a plastic storage bag with the corner snipped works just as well.
For uniform Christmas tree shapes, drizzle the chocolate in a steady zigzag pattern—narrow at the top and wider toward the bottom of the pretzel rod.
