Ingredients
Cranberry Jell-O:
1 (3 oz) package of cranberry Jell-O
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of cold water
Lime Jell-O:
1 (3 oz) package of lime Jell-O
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of cold water
Whipped Cream Layer:
1 cup of heavy cream
1/4 cup of powdered sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Jell-O Layers
Start by preparing the cranberry and lime Jell-O separately. In two separate bowls, dissolve each Jell-O package in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until fully dissolved and then add 1 cup of cold water. Mix well and pour each flavor into a separate 8-inch square dish. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until set.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. This will be the creamy and delicious layer in between the two Jell-O flavors.
Step 3: Assemble the Jell-O
Once the Jell-O layers are set, remove them from the fridge. Using a small cookie cutter or a knife, cut out festive shapes from the Jell-O layers. Carefully remove them from the dish and set aside.
In an 8-inch square dish, start by adding a layer of the cranberry Jell-O shapes. Next, add a layer of the whipped cream. Repeat with a layer of the lime Jell-O shapes and another layer of whipped cream. Continue until all the Jell-O shapes and whipped cream are used up.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Cover and refrigerate the Jell-O for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, top with additional whipped cream and any leftover Jell-O shapes as garnish. Enjoy your festive and delicious Christmas Jell-O!
