You can do that with any flavors of Jello. Whipping up partially-set
Jello was all the rage in the 60s. One popular Christmas item was
solid red, whipped red, solid green, whipped green - or both colors
whipped and separated by a plain gelatine layer with cream cheese
stirred in (red, white and green). If you can find blue, you can
celebrate the 4th of Jooly, although I'm more partial to the cake with
the strawberry/blueberry flag decor on the top. LOL.
