Gently fold the mixture until the marshmallows soften and combine with the sour cream.
Add 1 cup of drained mandarin oranges and 1 cup of drained pineapple chunks to the bowl.
Fold in 0.5 cup of halved maraschino cherries gently to avoid mashing the fruit.
Add 0.5 cup of shredded coconut and 0.25 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts for texture.
If the mixture is too firm, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of mandarin juice to loosen it slightly.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
Right before serving, fold in 0.5 ripe banana, sliced or chopped.
