In a mixing bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, crushed pineapple, dried cranberries, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Blend until perfectly smooth and creamy.

Cover the bowl and chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Once chilled, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the mixture into bite-sized balls.

Roll each cheese ball in the finely chopped pecans until they are fully coated.

Place the prepared cheese balls on a serving platter and refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
