Rinse and thoroughly dry the cranberries. Pulse them in a food processor until they are finely chopped, but not pureed.
Transfer the chopped cranberries to a large mixing bowl. Stir in the granulated sugar, ensuring the cranberries are evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
After chilling, fold in the mini marshmallows and drained crushed pineapple into the cranberry mixture.
In a separate chilled bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cranberry mixture until fully combined. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
Transfer the cranberry fluff salad to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow it to set and the flavors to blend.
Serve chilled and enjoy this creamy, fluffy treat!
