  1. Open the tube and put the rolls in a single layer in the air fryer. Leave a little bit of space between them so they can expand.

Christmas Cinnamon Rolls
  1. Open the tube and unroll the dough.
  2. Form into a tree/Santa shape by zig-zagging the cinnamon roll back and forth to make a triangle. Start with a longer piece and continue to zig-zag smaller as you go.
  3. Place them in the air fryer and cook for 7-8 minutes at 360 degrees F.
  4. Use a spatula to take them out of the air fryer and decorate them immediately.
  5. For Christmas trees: Coat the cinnamon roll in green icing. Quickly add the sprinkles before the icing sets. Add a star sprinkle on top. Use a dot of icing on the Reese's Mini and stick it on the bottom to make a tree trunk.
  6. For Santa: Frost each cinnamon roll with red icing. Place one mini marshmallow on the peak of Santa's hat. Then add 4-5 mini marshmallows along the bottom to make the hat brim.
