Thaw 12 Rhodes dinner rolls to room temperature.

Roll the dinner rolls into a 12x15 inch rectangle.

If difficult to roll, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes.

Mix cream cheese with butter, sugar, and lemon juice until combined.

Add cranberries to the cream cheese mixture.

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto the rolled dough.

Roll the dough up starting from one side, sealing the edge as you go.

Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and form the rolled dough into a ring on the pan.

Press the edges together to seal at the bottom.

Make cuts in the ring about 1.5 inches apart, going a little more than halfway through the dough.

Turn the rolls on their side to form the ring.

Let the ring rise and then bake until done.

Drizzle with icing before serving.
