Instructions

Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture

Divide the remaining whipped cream into two bowls, adding green food coloring to one and red to the other
Place a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom of your dish
Spread half the cream cheese mixture over the graham crackers
Add another layer of graham crackers and spread all the vanilla pudding over this layer
Layer more graham crackers, then spread the green whipped cream and sprinkle mini chocolate chips
Add another graham cracker layer and spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over these crackers
Place a final layer of graham crackers and top with the red whipped cream
Garnish with crushed candy canes and chopped maraschino cherries. Cover tightly with plastic wrap
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps.

Gel food coloring produces more vibrant colors than liquid versions.

Let the dessert sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for clean cuts.
