How do I create the snowman shape for the sandwich?

Use two round cookie cutters of different sizes to cut circles from sandwich bread slices, one larger for the body and one smaller for the head.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Yes, substitute the cream cheese with hummus or another dairy-free spread to suit dietary needs.

Layers of cheddar cheese, cucumber, and tomato provide fresh taste and texture within the sandwich stack.

Secure the stacked bread circles with a toothpick if needed, especially when serving or transporting.

Use black olive slices for eyes and buttons, baby carrot pieces for noses, red bell pepper strips for scarves, and parsley for hats or arms.

Whole wheat or gluten-free bread can be used to accommodate preferences or dietary restrictions.
