Rinse the cranberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Place the cranberries in a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped, but not pureed.
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a medium mixing bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar. Cover and refrigerate the cranberry mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Once the cranberry mixture has rested, drain any excess liquid that may have accumulated. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple and mini marshmallows until well combined.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whip the whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until everything is evenly incorporated and fluffy.
Cover and refrigerate the cranberry fluff for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend and the marshmallows to soften.
Serve chilled as a dessert or side dish for your holiday meals.
