Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9-inch springform pan by wrapping the outside with aluminum foil.
  2. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor, combine with melted butter and press into the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then cool.
Filling Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and red food coloring, mixing well.
  2. Fold in the whipped cream and Christmas sprinkles before pouring the mixture over the cooled crust.
Baking
  1. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C) and place the springform pan in a water bath. Bake for 1 to 1.25 hours until set.
  2. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for another 2-3 hours, then refrigerate.
Serving
