Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
3 tablespoons white sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon red decorating sugar, or as needed
1 teaspoon green decorating sugar, or as needed

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Slice each roll of crescent roll dough into 6 equal pieces for a total of 12 pieces and flatten each piece. Arrange 10 pieces into a triangle forming the 'tree' on a baking sheet. Arrange the remaining 2 dough pieces as the 'trunk.'
Whisk white sugar, butter, and orange zest together in a bowl until smooth; brush onto 'tree.'
Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 minutes.
Beat confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and orange juice together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy; brush into baked 'tree.' Sprinkle 'tree' with red and green decorating sugar.
