- 2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 3 bananas, sliced
- 1 (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened

Instructions:
- Mix the Base: In a large bowl, combine the strawberry yogurt and cheesecake pudding powder. Fold in the whipped topping until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate to allow the mixture to set for about an hour, creating a creamy base that’s perfect for the holidays.
- Add Fresh Ingredients: Just before serving, gently fold in the sliced strawberries, marshmallows, and bananas to keep them fresh and vibrant. Be sure to keep the salad refrigerated until it’s time to serve.
