2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely diced onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl with an electric mixer until completely blended. Turn cheese mixture onto a sheet of waxed paper and form it into the shape of a Christmas tree. Refrigerate cheese 'tree' until firm, at least 1 hour.
