# Cooking Steps:
01 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard until smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
02 - Place one tortilla flat and spread one quarter of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
03 - Layer smoked turkey slices over the spread, then scatter diced red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, grated carrot, and chopped chives evenly atop.
04 - Roll the tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Wrap securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm before slicing.
05 - Complete the layering and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and cream cheese mixture.
06 - Remove plastic wrap and cut each rolled tortilla into six even pinwheels.
07 - Place pinwheels on a large serving platter forming a Christmas tree shape, wider at the base and tapering towards the top.
08 - Insert pretzel sticks at the bottom to represent the trunk. Garnish with parsley sprigs between pinwheels, cherry tomato halves as ornaments, and position the yellow bell pepper star at the top.
09 - Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
