Rinse the cranberries gently under cold water, ensuring to remove any blemished berries.

Cook the cranberries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally for about 5-7 minutes until the cranberries begin to pop.

Cool the mixture slightly after cooking, then fold in the chopped walnuts and finely sliced green onions.

Blend the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth, then gradually fold in the cranberry mixture.

Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.

Serve chilled, accompanied by crispy crackers or warm baguette slices.
