Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out one puff pastry sheet into a large rectangle on a lightly floured surface and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Lightly score puff pastry into the shape of a Christmas tree (triangle) with a wide base. Spread chocolate-hazelnut spread over the triangle in a thin layer with the back of a spoon.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry to a large rectangle and place on top of the first one. Carefully trace the shape of the chocolate covered triangle underneath and cut out the Christmas tree shape and the trunk. Pull away excess pastry.
- Lightly score 2 lines down the middle of the triangle to form a tree trunk that is narrower at the top and gets wider towards the base. Using the trunk as a guide, cut branches into the sides of the triangle.
- Twist the branches away from you, trying to get in 2 turns on the lower branches. Continue moving up the tree, twisting away from you as you go.
- Cut a small star out of the excess pastry; place on top of the tree. Brush the star and tree with beaten egg.
- Bake in the preheated oven until puffy and golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly, about 5 minutes. Slide onto a serving plate, using a piece of parchment paper if needed.

CHRISTMAS TREE "FOOD"
DO NOT DRINK THIS OR CONSUME IT IN ANY WAY - this is a mixture used to water your Christmas tree to keep it fresh throughout the season. If you have pets or small children who may get into the mixture at the bottom of the tree, do not use the bleach. I leave it out because I have a cat who gets into the water at the bottom of the tree. The vinegar helps the tree to take in more of the water, the corn syrup acts as an energy source for the tree, and the bleach helps to prevent mold and fungi from growing in the water or on the base of the tree. The copper in the penny acts as a fungicide and an acidifier. The Food.com computer will let me put bleach in as an ingredient (weird), but it won't let me put "a penny" in as an ingredient, so just know that "1 penny" should be listed in the ingredients list. This mixture also helps to keep cut flowers fresh.

Steps:
- DISCLAIMER: This should go without saying, but - DO NOT DRINK THIS. THIS MIXTURE IS NOT MEANT TO BE CONSUMED BY HUMANS OR ANIMALS. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO WATER YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE.
- IMPORTANT: DO NOT MIX VINEGAR AND BLEACH TOGETHER DIRECTLY - IF YOU MIX THEM DIRECTLY THE MIXTURE WILL PRODUCE TOXIC VAPORS. MIX THE VINEGAR WITH THE WATER FIRST, THEN PROCEED WITH THE REST OF THE RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS.
- In a large bowl, mix together the water and the vinegar.
- Add the corn syrup or the sugar, and stir well until all is combined or the sugar is dissolved. If you are using sugar, it may help to use half hot water first to dissolve the sugar, then add the second half, using cold water.
- Add the bleach, if using, and mix well to combine.
- Place your Christmas tree securely in the Christmas tree stand.
- Place a penny in the reservoir of the Christmas tree stand, then fill it with the water mixture.
- Store the remainder of the mixture in a gallon jug, and check the tree every day to see if it needs more of the mixture. Christmas trees which are not watered and which dry out become fire hazards, so make sure your tree is kept watered. If you have used bleach in the mixture label the container appropriately so that no one will drink from it.

O CHRISTMAS TREE
Browse the produce aisle and you'll find that there's a bunch of jewel-toned fruits and vegetables fit for decorating a Christmas tree. I like to use multicolored bell peppers and pomegranate seeds, but you can use whatever you're inspired by. Star fruit, of course, is the natural choice for a tree-topper.

Steps:
- Using a stand mixer or a bowl and a spatula, mix together the cream cheese, herbs, garlic, mustard, and salt until combined. Form the mixture into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Before serving, form the ball into a tree shape -- like an egg shape, but pointier on top. Roll the tree-shaped ball in the parsley, reshaping it with your hands as necessary. Decorate with bits of bell peppers and pomegranate seeds. Top with the slice of star fruit.
- Serve with crackers and crudites.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unroll the two pastry sheets, keeping them on their baking parchment. Spread the pesto over one of the pastry sheets, then scatter over half of the grated cheese. Flip the second sheet of pastry on top and press to stick the two pastry sheets together. Remove the top layer of parchment.
- Cut out a Christmas tree shape - a large triangle with a little stump at the bottom, using as much of the pastry as possible. Cut a star shape out of the offcuts for the top of the tree. Reserve the rest of the offcuts. Lift the tree onto a large baking tray, brush with the beaten egg, then do the same with the star and press it on the tip. Scatter over the rest of the cheese and gently press to help it stick to the pastry.
- Cut vertical lines into the sides of the tree, about 1cm apart, leaving a 'trunk' of about 2cm up the middle. Twist the strips of pastry and stick them back down to the tray. Do this with all the pastry 'branches'. Cut the offcuts into straws, and arrange them on another baking tray. You can now wrap and chill the tree and offcuts for up to two days, freeze for two months, or bake straightaway.

Steps:
- Make the pavlova: Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Find 6 circular objects, such as plates or glasses, starting with 6 inches in diameter and going down 1 inch in diameter. Trace each circle onto the sheets of parchment, leaving at least 1 inch of space between the circles. Flip the parchment paper over so the traced side is facing down. Set the oven racks in the middle and top positions. Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
- Add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until frothy, about 2 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and add the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue mixing until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 7 minutes total. Remove the bowl from the mixer and transfer the meringue to a larger bowl, if desired.
- Add the chocolate chips to a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals until melted, 1½-2 minutes total.
- Pour the melted chocolate into the meringue and use a rubber spatula to gently fold twice to create a marbled effect.
- Use a rubber spatula to dollop the meringue onto the parchment paper, filling in the traced circles. Smooth the edges with an offset spatula, making sure each round is 1 inch tall.
- Bake the meringue rounds for 2 hours. Without opening the oven door, turn off the heat and let the meringues cool for 8 hours, or overnight.
- Make the sugared cranberries: Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Add ¼ cup sugar and the water to a small saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture is simmering, about 3 minutes. Add the cranberries and stir until well coated. Transfer the cranberries to the wire rack and let dry for 1 hour.
- Transfer the cranberries to a medium bowl. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup sugar over the berries and stir to coat all over. Return the cranberries to the wire rack and let dry for 1 hour.
- Make the pistachio cream: In a medium bowl, whip the mascarpone with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until lightly and fluffy, about 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, use the hand mixer to whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, 4-5 minutes. Add ½ cup powdered sugar to the whipped cream and continue beating until medium peaks form, 2-3 minutes. Add the pistachio paste and food coloring and beat until evenly combined. Fold the whipped mascarpone into the whipped pistachio cream with a rubber spatula until evenly incorporated. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
- Place the largest meringue round on a flat serving platter and top with about 2 cups of the pistachio cream, spreading nearly to the edges of the meringue. Continue stacking, working from the largest meringue layers to the smallest and alternating with the cream. Finish with the smallest meringue round.
- Stick the sugared cranberries and rosemary sprigs to the pistachio cream layers around the pavlova. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar to a fine-mesh sieve and dust over the top.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!
