In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled feta cheese, chopped dried cranberries, chopped pecans, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Using your hands, shape the cheese mixture into a ball. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly to make it easier to handle.
On a plate, combine additional chopped pecans and dried cranberries. Roll the cheese ball in the mixture until it is fully coated.
Wrap the cheese ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the cheese ball to firm up.
Remove the cheese ball from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
Note: Can be made into small balls as pictured.
Serve with crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping.
