1 (10-ounce) store-bought angel food cake
Green food coloring

Stir green food coloring into frosting a drop at a time until desired color is reached.

Reserve 1/4 cup of frosting for making holly leaves.

Place cake on a serving platter.

Spread frosting evenly over top and sides of cake.

Press coconut into top and sides of cake to resemble a snow drift.

Add a few drops of green food coloring to reserved frosting to make it a darker green.
