Notes
This would be perfect to make for any holiday party you plan to attend anytime between Thanksgiving to New Year’s Eve, it can be served as either a side dish or a dessert!
If it isn’t as fluffy as you’d like, you can add a little more cool whip or marshmallows until it is the desired consistency.
If desired, 2 cups chopped pecans or walnuts can be added in step 3 at the same time as the cool whip and mini marshmallows.
You may be tempted to skip refrigerating the cranberries, pineapples, and sugar overnight - but this step makes the cranberries less tart and the cranberry salad taste more sweet so don’t skip it!
