Creating Festive Christmas Cranberry Roll Ups is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to wow your holiday guests:

1. Prepare Your Work Surface: Clear a clean area on your countertop or table to work on. You might want to lay down a clean cutting board for easier rolling.

2. Soften the Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.

3. Mix with Cranberry Sauce: Gradually add the cranberry sauce to the cream cheese, mixing until well combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts at this stage for some added crunch.

4. Spread the Mixture: Lay one tortilla flat on your work surface. Use a spatula to spread an even layer of the cream cheese and cranberry mixture on the tortilla. Leave about a half-inch border around the edges.

5. Roll It Up: Starting from one side, carefully roll the tortilla tightly, creating a log shape. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas.

6. Chill: Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap to keep them fresh. Place them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set.

7. Slice into Pinwheels: Once chilled, remove the rolls from the fridge. Unwrap and slice each roll into bite-sized pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.

8. Dust with Powdered Sugar: For an elegant finish, dust the top of the roll ups with powdered sugar just before serving.

These easy steps guide you toward a festive and inviting treat perfect for any holiday gathering.
