In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating continuously, until fully combined and smooth.
Fold in the graham cracker crumbs and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture resembles a thick, moldable dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the cheesecake mixture and roll into bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the cheesecake balls for 30 minutes to firm them up for easier dipping.
While the cheesecake balls chill, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and glossy.
Remove the cheesecake balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, melt the white chocolate chips and drizzle over the truffles for a festive touch. Add holiday sprinkles immediately after drizzling while the chocolate is still wet.
Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour until the chocolate coating is fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
