Reindeer Cheese Ball – Fun Christmas Appetizer

Reindeer Cheese Ball

How cute is this Reindeer Cheese Ball?

Can you see this on your table at your Christmas party?

I know that at first your friends will just stand around admiring this unique Christmas appetizer and you’ll hear comments about your guests not wanting to cut into this cute guy, but once that first person scoops some and spreads it on a cracker and raves about the combination of creamy cheese speckled with RO*TEL® Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies all covered in bacon it won’t be long before everyone digs in.

Not only is this Reindeer Cheese Ball adorably cute but it is amazingly tasty too.

I’ve enjoyed a lot of cheese balls in my life. I’ve even made quite a few to share with you. Do you remember my Cheese Ball Cauldron, Cheese Ball Turkey, Wedding Cake Cheese Ball, Cheese Ball Birthday Cake, Baby Chick Cheese Balls, or my Melting Snowman Cheese Balls? If not, be sure to check them out too.

Each of these cheese balls has a slightly different flavor profile and every time I make a new one I think, now this is my new favorite. Well, now this IS my new favorite.
