In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the cherry gelatin mix in boiling water by stirring for 2-3 minutes until fully combined.
Stir in the whole berry cranberry sauce and mix well until it is fully incorporated.
Add the crushed pineapple (including the juice from the can) and stir to combine.
Gently fold in the miniature marshmallows, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 1 hour or until it begins to set slightly, but is not fully firm.
Once the mixture has started to set, gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until the mixture turns light pink and creamy.
If desired, fold in the chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls and refrigerate for an additional 2-3 hours, or until fully set and chilled.
Serve cold and enjoy this sweet, creamy, and tangy side dish!
