Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a 3-inch Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Gently re-roll scraps to maximize.
  3. Place dough trees on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each, followed by a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  4. Decorate with mini pepperoni and chopped green bell peppers.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  6. While pizzas bake, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and dried parsley.
  7. Brush the crusts of the hot pizzas with the garlic butter. Carefully insert a pretzel stick piece into the bottom of each pizza for a trunk. Serve warm.

Notes

For best results, use low-moisture mozzarella cheese to prevent the pizzas from becoming soggy.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; give the pizzas a little space to bake evenly.
Let the pizzas cool for a minute or two before serving, as the cheese will be very hot.
