Place 12 eggs in a large pot and sprinkle salt on top to prevent cracking.

Bring water to a boil and let it boil for about 2 minutes.

Cover the pot with a lid, turn off the heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.

Pour out the hot water and add cold water with ice to cool the eggs for about 6 minutes.

Crack the shells of the eggs while they are in the pot of water and peel them.

Cut each egg lengthwise down the center and place the halves back on a plate.

Pop out all the yolks into a mixing bowl, using a spoon if necessary.

Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.

Add about half a cup of mayonnaise to the yolks, adjusting to taste.

Add a couple of teaspoons of dijon mustard to the mixture.

Add a quarter teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper, mixing well.

Set aside about 2 tablespoons of the yolk mixture in a separate bowl.

Add green food coloring to the yolk mixture, mixing until the desired color is achieved.

Place the green yolk mixture into a piping bag for easy application.

Fill the bottom of the egg whites with the green yolk mixture, then pipe a zigzag pattern to create the tree shape.

Use the reserved yolk mixture to pipe a small dot at the top of the tree as a star.

Cut olives in half and place the half without the hole at the base of the egg to represent the tree trunk.

Dot sriracha sauce on the green part of the egg to represent lights on the tree.
