Christmas Tie Die Cake Recipe

Christmas Tie Die Cake is the perfect cake to make!! Can you believe Christmas is right around the corner!! This recipe is a spin-off of the Firecracker Cake for the fourth of July. We made a couple Christmases ago and it was a hit with our family that was in town.   (I have included affiliate links to products I love. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.)

I love to make new Christmas desserts we have plans to make this cake into other color combinations for other hoidays! Now I will say this was a lot of red food coloring to keep the red bright but it was worth it.
