Holiday Cheese Ball Wreath

This is SO pretty, and what I am making to take to Lola and Brian's party next Friday!
(serves 16-20)

1 lb. cream cheese with chives*, at room temp.
2 cups shredded firm cheese. such as sharp* cheddar, pepper Jack, or Colby
2 t. Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup pickled piquante red* peppers, such as Peppadews, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh flat-leaf* parsley leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
Crackers, sliced bread or crudites, for serving
Special equipment: a small (6 cup) Bundt pan

Line the inside of the Bundt pan with plastic wrap. Process the cream cheese, shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 t. salt, and a few grind of pepper in a food processor until smooth. Empty the mixture into a med. bowl. Spoon the cheese mixture into the prepared Bundt pan; pack it in, spread into an even layer and cover, or simply form the cheese mixture into a ball and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, at last 1 hour up to 2 days. Uncover and invert the cheese mold or unwrap and transfer the ball onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and chives to completely coat the wreath, and garnish with the reserved peppers. Serve with crackers, sliced bread, and crudités.
