Begin by softening the cream cheese at room temperature for about 30 minutes. In a stand mixer, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dried cranberries, and sliced green onions. Beat the mixture on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until it becomes creamy and well combined.

Now, add the shredded white cheddar cheese into the bowl with your creamy mixture. Continue mixing on medium speed for another 1–2 minutes until fully incorporated.

Transfer the cheese mixture onto a large piece of plastic wrap. Gather the edges of the wrap, and use your hands to shape the mixture into a ball or log. Seal the plastic wrap around the cheese ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.

While your cheese ball is chilling, gather the remaining chopped pecans, cranberries, and sliced green onions on a large plate. Mix these ingredients thoroughly so they are evenly combined.

After the cheese ball has chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and unwrap it from the plastic. Carefully roll it in the coating mixture, pressing gently to ensure that it adheres well.

Arrange your gorgeous Cranberry Pecan Cheese Ball on a serving platter, and serve it immediately with an assortment of crackers.
