Description

These Cranberry Pecan Cream Cheese Stuffed Celery “Snow Logs” are the kind of festive bites that disappear faster than the holiday rush. Crisp, refreshing celery meets a dreamy blend of sweet cream cheese, tart cranberries, and buttery toasted pecans creating a merry little appetizer that feels indulgent yet wonderfully light. Whether you’re hosting a winter gathering or simply craving a seasonal snack, these snow-kissed logs bring instant cheer to any table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 celery stalks
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries, chopped
  • 1/2 cup pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and cut them into 3–4 inch pieces. Pat dry and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped cranberries, toasted pecans, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until velvety and evenly blended.
  3. Using a butter knife or small spatula, generously fill each celery piece with the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Arrange the stuffed celery “snow logs” on a platter. Add parsley garnish if you’d like a touch of color.
  5. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  1. Softening the Cream Cheese: Allowing the cream cheese to come to room temperature ensures it blends smoothly with the mix-ins, preventing lumps.
  2. Roasting the Pecans: Toasting the pecans deepens their flavor and adds a fragrant warmth that elevates every bite.
  3. Prepping Ahead: You can mix the filling up to a day ahead store it covered in the refrigerator and fill the celery just before serving for the best crunch.
