Wash celery stalks thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Trim uneven edges and cut into 3-4 inch pieces.

Remove cream cheese from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften.

In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with herbs and spices until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Stuff each celery piece with the cream cheese mixture using a spoon or piping bag.

Sprinkle toppings like chopped nuts or bacon bits over the stuffed celery.

Arrange on a serving platter and keep chilled until serving.
