Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) 🔥. Grease and flour a loaf pan (9×5-inch) or line with parchment paper 🍞.
Mix dry ingredients:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt 🥄.

Add eggs and vanilla:
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract 🍦.
Combine wet and dry ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the buttermilk 🥛. Start and finish with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined 🌀.
Fold in the mix-ins:
Gently fold in the dried cranberries, chopped pecans, pistachios, and white chocolate chips 🍒🌰🥜🍫.
Pour into the pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly 🍞.
Bake the bread:
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean 🍴. Check the bread around 50 minutes to prevent over-baking.
Cool and top:
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely 🧊. If desired, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze for a festive touch 🎨.
