Cook the bacon using your favourite method until crisp, then dry on paper towels/kitchen roll to catch excess fat. Leave until the bacon completely cools to room temp, then finely dice.
In a large shallow dish, combine the bacon, cranberries and chives. In another dish to the left, add the honey.
Place a chopping board to the left of the honey and slice the brie into 6 even wedges. Flip each wedge on its side and slice down the centre to create 12 thinner wedges.
Snap the pretzel sticks and poke them through the longest side to create the tree's trunk.
One by one, dunk the wedges cut-side down into the honey (making sure you cover the sides), then into the bacon mixture. You may need to use your fingers to press the mix into the brie to ensure the whole side is covered. If the mix isn't sticking/covering the cheese, you may need to dice it finer.
Repeat, then tuck in and enjoy!
