Can I make Christmas Cranberry Roll Ups the night before?

Absolutely. These roll ups are ideal for making ahead. Letting them chill overnight actually helps the flavors meld and makes them easier to slice neatly.

How do I keep cranberry roll ups from falling apart?

Tight rolling is key. Be sure not to overfill, and always chill the rolled tortillas wrapped in plastic wrap. This keeps everything firm and sliceable.

Can I make these cranberry roll ups gluten-free or dairy-free?

Yes, with a few adjustments. Use gluten-free tortillas and choose plant-based cream cheese and feta-style alternatives. The texture might be slightly different, but the festive flavor still shines.

Ingredients

8 oz softened cream cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (sheep’s milk feta recommended)
1 1/2 cups sweetened dried cranberries
4 large flour tortillas
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives

Instructions

Place softened cream cheese in a small bowl and beat until fluffy and smooth.
Add crumbled feta cheese, chopped dried cranberries, and chopped chives to the cream cheese. Mix well until evenly combined.
Spread approximately 1/2 cup of the mixture evenly over each flour tortilla, covering the entire surface.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape.
Wrap each rolled tortilla in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and slice each roll into desired thickness using a sharp serrated knife.
Arrange on a serving platter and serve chilled.

Notes

Do not overfill the tortillas; use about 1/2 cup of filling per tortilla for best results.
Use a serrated knife and gentle sawing motion for clean slices.
For variations, substitute cream cheese with Greek yogurt cream cheese or mascarpone, and swap cranberries for dried cherries or raisins.
