Heat the oven to 375 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper.
Combine together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl.
Place the crescent sheet onto your baking sheet and divide it into 8 even squares. Join the seams together.
Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the middle of every crescent square.
Tuck in the edges of the crescent-shaped squares and gently press them together at the center.
Place 2 cherries and a small amount of cherry gel onto the center of each cheesecake filling.
Bake until the crescents turn golden, which should take around 10-12 minutes.
Take out of the oven and let it cool down a bit before serving.
