In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped fresh chives if using.
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Place the mixture on a large sheet of plastic wrap. Using the wrap to help, form the mixture into a ball shape.
Wrap the cheese ball tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm enough to hold its shape.
Spread the 'everything bagel' seasoning evenly on a large plate or flat surface.
Unwrap the chilled cheese ball and gently roll it in the seasoning, pressing lightly to adhere the seasoning to the surface until the entire ball is coated.
Transfer the cheese ball to a serving plate and serve immediately with crackers or veggie sticks. If not serving immediately, refrigerate until needed.
