In a large mixing bowl, fold together the cream cheese, sour cream, cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Form the mixture into a cone shape, then wrap it in plastic wrap and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Before serving, finely chop the parsley and cover the cheeseball to look like tree branches.
Use a star cookie cutter to cut a star from the bell pepper and chop a few small bell pepper pieces.

Decorate with the bell pepper star, halved Roma tomatoes, and remaining bell pepper pieces.
Serve with crackers and enjoy!
