Ingredients
For the Crust:

½ cup melted butter
For the Cheesecake Layer:
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped
½ cup Christmas sprinkles (red, green, white)
Optional Topping:
Extra whipped cream
Additional holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Make the Crust: Combine crushed sugar cookies and melted butter until evenly mixed. Press firmly into the bottom of a lined 8×8 or 9×9 baking pan. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes.
Make the Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream until light and fluffy.
Add Sprinkles: Stir in Christmas sprinkles carefully to avoid bleeding.
Assemble Bars: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.
Serve: Slice into squares and top with extra whipped cream and sprinkles, if desired.
Notes
Use any festive sprinkles, but avoid jimmies that may bleed into the batter.
Graham crackers can be used instead of sugar cookies for a more classic base.
Let bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
These bars are great made ahead — up to 2 days in advance!
