For a smoother texture, you can pulse the cranberry sauce in a food processor before adding it to the gelatin. To make a low-fat version, use low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free whipped topping, and omit the walnuts. For a festive presentation, use a decorative mold instead of a rectangular dish. Ensure each layer is fully set before adding the next to prevent the colors from bleeding.
