Pinch of garam masala

Add the nuts, stirring to coat, then fold in the pretzels, cranberries, and pepitas. Mix thoroughly.
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet and bake for 18 minutes, stirring every 6 minutes for even cooking. Once done, let it cool on a rack. Serve it as a delightful snack with holiday drinks!
