We love to make and bake all things peppermint at Christmastime like peppermint whipped cream and peppermint Crispy Treats! It is one of those special flavors that we really only have during the holiday seasons so it always feels nostalgic and special. The red and white color combination always feels so festive too.
This peppermint cheesecake dip is fluffy and delcious and SO easy to make for holiday entertaining and parties. It only takes minutes to throw together and looks so beautiful and impressive!

I like to serve my peppermint cheesecake dip in a small to medium bowl with a pedestal base in the middle of a large ruffled pie plate, or small tray with sides, so I can fill it in with all of the dippers.
This peppermint cheesecake dip may be served with any number of things, but here are a few of my favorites:
- Chocolate (or white chocolate) Covered Pretzels
- Signature SELECT™ Milk Chocolate Biscuits
