In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until well blended.
Season the cheese mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
Form the cheese mixture into a ball using your hands. You can use a piece of plastic wrap to help shape and smoothen the ball.
Spread the chopped pistachios and pomegranate seeds on a flat surface or parchment paper.
Roll the cheese ball over the pistachios and pomegranate seeds, pressing gently to ensure the toppings adhere evenly to the surface.
Once fully coated, your cheese ball is ready to serve. If not serving immediately, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
Serve with an assortment of crackers, breadsticks, or sliced vegetables for dipping.
