For a festive touch, garnish with fresh cranberries and pecan halves before serving. If you prefer a less sweet salad, reduce the amount of sugar slightly. Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the whipped cream mixture. Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts, such as walnuts or almonds, in place of pecans.
