In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, chopped green onions, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. This can be done by hand for a chunkier texture or with a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
Divide the cheese mixture into two portions—one larger for the snowman's body and one smaller for the head.
Shape the portions into two round balls using your hands or plastic wrap. Chill the cheese balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Once firm, roll the cheese balls in shredded mozzarella cheese (optional) to create a snowy appearance.
Stack the smaller cheese ball on top of the larger one to form the snowman's body and head.
Decorate the snowman by using black olives for the eyes, buttons, and mouth. Carve a pointed piece from the baby carrot to create the nose and insert it into the snowman's face.
Insert pretzel sticks on either side of the larger cheese ball to make arms.
Place on a serving platter surrounded by crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
