📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until well combined.
2
Add the chopped green onions, drained pimientos, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
4
Once chilled, scoop the mixture onto a serving platter. Use your hands to mold it into a cone shape, resembling a Christmas tree.
5
Gently press the finely chopped fresh parsley all over the surface of the cone to create the 'pine needle' effect.
6
Decorate the tree by dotting the halved cherry tomatoes around as 'ornaments'. Press on the sliced almonds as 'lights' or tinsel.
