Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer makes this easy.
If making just the dip and not a cheese wreath, transfer party dip to a serving bowl. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving with crackers.
For the Christmas Cheese Wreath
Put a drinking glass in the center of a serving plate.
Drop spoonfuls of Scallion Olive Party Dip around the glass (using 2 spoons helps, similar to dropping spoonfuls of cookie dough on a bake sheet).
Gently twist and remove the glass. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out and form the cheese ring. Use a paper towel to remove smudges and clean up the edges around the cheese ring.
Use a sharp paring knife to cut shapes cut from the bell peppers to make holly berries and leaves.
