Christmas Snowman Bacon Cheeseball

Last Updated on June 30, 2021 by Kimberly Stroh

There are so many reasons to make this easy Christmas Snowman Bacon Cheeseball, but you won’t need any of them. It’s just a delicious recipe that happens to be perfect for the holiday season. It comes together quickly and has everyone’e favorite ingredient in it – BACON. My favorite part is how it only requires using one bowl. That makes a big difference when you’re busy with holiday cooking. Nobody loves recipes that require several dirty dishes.

I think it makes an awesome appetizer and you can pair it with a nice white wine and crackers. Your guests will be impressed and it tastes delicious. My Mom and I have been serving it for years in our homes – it’s my brother’s favorite.
