It's perfect for breakfast or as an afternoon treat! 

The holidays are quickly approaching whether we are ready or not. This year truly has seemed to fly by and it feels like it was just summer! Nonetheless, I've been in the kitchen recipe testing and starting to plan my menus. One of my favorite parts about Christmas is my parents coming over early in the morning and spending the entire day with us. We take our time opening presents while enjoying coffee and hot chocolate, then sit down to a breakfast feast. Overnight casseroles, breads, and things like baked french toast or pancakes are favorites around here. This Cinnamon Cranberry Pull Apart Loaf featuring Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing is not only delicious, but it's easy to make and can feed the whole family!

Although I often make many of our favorite traditional holiday recipes, I love to create new recipes and new traditions with my family from year to year. I always have something old and something new on my menu. When I'm in the mood to make something new, I always turn to Pillsbury™ to help. They offer quality products and are a trusted brand that can't be beat. Plus, they make baking at home easy! 

This Cinnamon Cranberry Pull Apart Loaf comes together in no time using two packages of Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Refrigerated Cinnamon Rolls, which can be found at Walmart, plus a little butter, brown sugar, and dried cranberries. Put it together in the morning, pop it in the oven to bake, and continue on with your holiday until it's ready to eat! The cream cheese icing drizzled over the top adds the perfect amount of decadence.
