Looking for a quick & easy way to jazz up breakfast on Thanksgiving or Christmas morning? This Cranberry Cinnamon Cream Cheese will do the trick, I’m also impressed that no store brands (that I know of) have started making their own cranberry versions. This cream cheese looks pretty & it tastes amazing, A+ in all areas.
It’s the perfect bagel spread, you can use it on anything you would like & feel free to tweak my recipe to make it your own. I used raw honey for my sweetener but you can use other substitutions as well.

Cranberries are served almost weekly year around at my house. I make a variety of relishes and chutneys that can be frozen or canned. I will definitely try the cream cheese recipe soon.
