  2. Press the mixture into a ball shape in the bowl, then transfer it onto a large piece of parchment paper. Wrap the cheese in the paper to form a smooth ball, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Once chilled, unwrap the cheeseball and roll it in the remaining cranberries, pecans, and chives to coat evenly. Place it on a serving platter.
  4. Serve with crackers or sliced baguette, garnished with extra chives if desired.
