# Step-by-Step:
01 - In a medium mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
02 - Transfer the mixture to a large serving platter, shaping it into an uneven large circle with a smaller mound on top to resemble a melted snowman.
03 - Place two olive slices on the head for eyes and small olive pieces to create a smiling mouth. Insert the carrot nose at the center of the face. Arrange olive slices or peppercorns vertically down the body for buttons. Surround the neck area with red bell pepper strips to mimic a scarf. Position pretzel sticks on each side for arms. Optionally, sprinkle chopped parsley or chives for color accent.
