1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. TO MAKE THE ROLLS: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the biscuit mix and sugar until well blended. Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add more biscuit mix, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is easy to handle. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board or pastry cloth and knead gently about 10 times. Roll into a 16-by-9-inch rectangle. 3. TO FILL THE ROLLS: Spread the dough with the melted butter. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar over the buttered dough. Spread, if necessary, so that no dry sugar remains and the mixture is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the nuts over the cinnamon sugar. Starting with a long side, roll the dough up jelly roll fashion, and pinch the edges together to seal. Cut into sixteen 1-inch slices. 4. TO FORM THE TREE: To form the trunk, center a first roll near the bottom of the baking sheet. To form the base of the tree, place 5 rolls side by side in a line, centered over the trunk. Leave 1/2 inch between all the rolls, and put the seam side inward. Place 4 rolls, side by side, above the first row. Top with a 3-roll row, then a 2-roll row, and finally a 1-roll row. 5. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Slip the parchment paper with the rolls onto a flat surface and let the rolls cool slightly before glazing (to keep the glaze from running). 6. TO MAKE THE GLAZE: In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Stir in the hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze is slightly runny. Spread over the slightly cooled rolls and serve. If desired, decorate by sprinkling the glaze with green sugar crystals, and to make red ornaments, randomly place small dollops of red jelly between the rows.
