Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
0.25 cup finely diced onion
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 red bell pepper
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
0.25 cup chopped pecans, or as needed

Instructions

In a bowl, combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion, and Worcestershire sauce using an electric mixer until well combined. Transfer the cheese mixture to waxed paper and mold it into a Christmas tree shape. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Slice bell pepper into thin strips and create one star shape.
Cover the cheese tree with parsley. Arrange bell pepper strips to create a 'garland'. Form another 'garland' with chopped pecans. Top the tree with the bell pepper star. Carefully move the tree to a serving plate.
