Instructions
Prepping the Dough
Start by pre-heating your oven according to the pizza dough package instructions.
Lay out the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut the first one into a Christmas tree shape and the second one into a snowman shape. See photos for reference.
Save the leftover dough and roll it out to make a reindeer like we did or use it to make a Christmas wreath or whatever else your heart desires!
Toppings
Brush the edges of the dough with a little olive oil.
Next, spread a thin layer of pizza sauce onto the dough then cover with grated mozzarella cheese.
Add the toppings to decorate your tree and snowman however you like. (Do not add the basil leafs on before cooking, they should go on after as a garnish.)
Feel free to get creative with the designs, this is SO much fun! You can also change up the toppings to suit your personal preference.
Baking
Bake the pizzas according to the package insturctions. Make sure the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through and golden brown.
These are BEST enjoyed while watching your favorite Christmas movie (for me it's Jim Carrey's GRINCH!) Merry Christmas!

Notes
Homemade Pizza Dough: We made 2 batches of pizza dough using Preppy Kitchen's easy pizza dough recipe. I added garlic, basil and oregano to the crust for a herb flavor. This recipe takes an hour to rise to make sure to plan ahead if you are making your own pizza dough.
Rolling Time: You will also need a little extra time to roll out the dough.
GF: Gluten free pizza dough can be used for this recipe if desired.
