Chop pecans into fine pieces, removing excess if necessary.

Add 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise to the room temperature cream cheese and mix until smooth.

Add chopped pecans to the cream cheese mixture and mix well.

Open a 14 oz can of cranberry sauce and cut it into thick slices, about four slices per can.

Layer the thick slices of cranberry sauce into the bottom of a dish, cutting them in half if necessary to cover the bottom.

Spread the cream cheese and pecan mixture evenly over the cranberry sauce.

Repeat the layering process with another can of cranberry sauce, placing it on top of the cream cheese mixture.

Press down on the layers to ensure they are compact and well mixed.

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld.
