This four-ingredient Raspberry Puff Pastry Christmas Tree is a pull-apart Christmas tree-shaped dessert that’s not only festive but delicious and easy-to-make. It’s topped with a “shooting star” too. Add this easy dessert to your holiday baking list.
I just love how festive this dessert looks. It’s easy especially with my step-by-step instructions. I couldn’t wait to try it the first time I made it.
It’s great to take to work, Christmas parties, holiday brunch, or just because. You can just pull off a piece like finger-food.
I also have a three-dimensional fruit Christmas tree you may like.

I took my tree carefully off of the cookie sheet with two large spatulas and placed it on a platter.
Doesn’t that look delicious? I love closeups!
I used a star-shaped cookie cutter (affiliate link) to make the star.
You can use seedless strawberry jam (affiliate link) instead of seedless raspberry jam (affiliate link) if you wish. You may use preserves instead but, I find jam is easier to spread.
This pull-apart puff pastry Christmas tree is a festive dessert your guests will love.
