250-g block cream cheese, at room temperature
300-g log creamy goat cheese

Thinly slice sun-dried tomatoes and place three-quarters of them in a food processor. Add cream and goat cheeses. Whirl to mix, then whirl in nuts and 1/4 cup (50 mL) pesto. Scrape into a pretty serving bowl. Spoon remaining pesto overtop and scatter with remaining sun-dried tomatoes. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate up to 2 days.

This looks so festive with a mix of green pesto and red sun-dried tomatoes swirled into cream cheese. The pine nuts add a hidden layer of texture.
