# How to Make It:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and fully blended.
02 - Divide the cheese mixture into three portions of varying sizes for each snowman: large for the base, medium for the middle, and small for the head. Roll each portion into smooth balls.
03 - Arrange the cheese balls on a serving platter by stacking the largest ball at the bottom, the medium one in the center, and the smallest on top to form snowmen.
04 - Use black peppercorns to create eyes and buttons, carrot sticks for noses, bell pepper strips as scarves, and pretzel sticks for arms. Optionally, enhance presentation with parsley or dill sprigs as hats or additional accessories.
05 - Refrigerate the assembled snowmen for at least one hour to firm. Serve chilled alongside crackers and fresh vegetables.
