In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained and chopped maraschino cherries, drained pineapple tidbits, and miniature marshmallows.
Add the sweetened condensed milk to the bowl and gently fold it into the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Add the thawed whipped topping to the bowl and gently fold it in to achieve a light and fluffy consistency.
If using, gently mix in the shredded coconut and chopped nuts for additional flavor and texture.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly.
Stir gently before serving and transfer to a serving dish or individual bowls. Optionally, garnish with a few extra cherries or a sprinkle of nuts for presentation.
Serve chilled and enjoy this sweet and creamy treat!
