Preparation
  1. Use a tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut the bread into tree shapes.
  2. Spread your chosen filling (cream cheese, ham, turkey, etc.) on one side of each bread shape.
  3. If desired, add decorations like olives, pepper bits, or carrot shreds.
  4. Assemble the sandwich by placing another cutout on top.

Notes

You can prepare fillings and cut the bread the night before, keeping them in airtight containers. Assemble just before serving to keep the bread fresh.
