Place your Christmas tree cheese ball in the middle of a platter covered with a napkin "tree skirt," and surround it with crackers of differing shapes and sizes to represent holiday gifts.

Special Touch               

Add some Italian flair to your Christmas cheese ball by swapping out the parsley or cilantro for a combination of fresh basil and oregano.

Substitution                

To quickly soften the cream cheese, remove all packaging, place it on a microwaveable plate and microwave uncovered on High for about 30 seconds or just until softened. Microwave ovens vary, so keep an eye on your cream cheese to avoid it softening too much.

Want a green Christmas tree? Tint frosting by stirring in a few drops of green food color before frosting the cake. Create “tinsel” by sprinkling frosting with gold edible glitter.
