Preparation
Mix cream cheese, goat cheese, and cheddar cheese together in a large mixing bowl until nicely combined. Stir in pureed pecans, pureed spinach, and chives. Form into 'presents' and decorate with additional toppings to represent wrappings and bows. Chill in refrigerator.
Preheat oven to 450°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone liner.
Toss potatoes, oil, and seasonings together in a large bowl until potatoes are evenly coated. Lay out in a single layer on baking sheet and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through. Potatoes will be crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside.
Arrange potatoes into two trees. If you have extra, serve them in a bowl. Cut potatoes to represent a star at the top.
Place cheese balls under tree. Sprinkle with extra chives, cranberries, and/or pecans if desired!
Serve with cheese knives.
