Sprinkle shredded cheese and chopped green onions over the sausage.
Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle up, ensuring the filling is enclosed.

Optional: Sprinkle colored sugar over the top for a festive touch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
