Reindeer Cinnamon Rolls
Surprise your friends and family with this Christmas themed cinnamon roll breakfast. Rudolph leads the pack with Santa’s Reindeer in formation. Traditionally Santa has eight reindeer, plus Rudolph. I lined up eight cinnamon rolls and centered one on the front. I used two cans of eight count cinnamon rolls and scattered the remaining rolls around a baking dish, then added festive Christmas sprinkles to the extra cinnamon rolls.
