What would the holidays be with the Holiday Cheese Ball? This is an easy cheese ball recipe and it can be prepared a few days ahead of time. Just make sure you keep it completely covered with plastic wrap while it is in the refrigerator.
Also, if you don’t care for blue cheese you can just skip that ingredient or substitute another cheese like Feta or maybe even a Pepper Jack Cheese.
