# Method:
01 - Wash and peel the cucumbers. Cut crosswise into 2-inch thick rounds.
02 - Using a small snowflake-shaped cookie cutter, carefully cut each cucumber round into a snowflake shape.
03 - With a melon baller or small spoon, hollow out the center of each snowflake, leaving a 1/4-inch thick base and sides to form cups. Place on paper towels to drain excess moisture.
04 - In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper; mix until smooth.
05 - Gently fold in red bell pepper, celery, red onion, and dill into the creamy mixture.
06 - Spoon or pipe the filling into each cucumber cup evenly.
07 - Top each cup with pomegranate seeds and chopped chives. Chill for at least 10 minutes before serving.
