1. Preheat oven to 275 F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment or a baking mat. 
2. In a small saucepan, melt butter, cranberry sauce or jelly of choice over medium heat, stirring until butter has melted and mixture has combined. Whisk in chili powder, garlic salt and kosher salt and remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl, combine cereals, pretzels, cranberries and mixed nuts. Pour the jam-butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir to combine well.
4. Divide mixture evenly across the two baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, tossing every 10 to 15 minutes.
