Christmas Dip ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿผ

Christmas Dip is the dip that everyone looks forward to all year long, and added bonus: I am going to give you two recipes for this dip! One dip is going to be hot and bubbly and you are going to serve it on Christmas Day. The second dip is only going to be two ingredients and you can serve it on Christmas Eve because there is no meat in the dip at all.

See, as an Italian we celebrate the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas for our dinner spread. Although the hot and bubbly dip is surely a treat you will see that the two ingredient dip is just as much of a crowd pleaser! All will be merry and bright this Christmas, so let’s unwrap this recipe! Let’s make it!

I absolutely love using this Wisenvoy Non-Stick Deep Dish Pie Plate! What I love about this pie is that it is microwave safe, oven safe, dishwasher safe, freezer safe, broiler safe, and the unique black and white pattern is so beautiful! This pie dish also offers even heating and superior heat retention, which keeps food hot on the table longer.

To replace the Boursin cheese just use another 8 oz of cream cheese, so use 1 lb total of cream cheese instead of the Boursin.

    1. Thank you for letting me know! I just changed the blog. It goes in with the rest of the ingredients mixed into the cream cheese. My apologies!

    Iโ€™m sorry to leave a review like this but I was so excited to try this recipe because I love cream cheese and red pepper jelly and thought this would be a level up. This was honestly the most bland dip – the entire thing got thrown away. Even though it wasnโ€™t a lot of effort it was enough effort to cause disappointment, along with my good jar of pepper jelly being wasted. Something needs to be adjusted here.
