Pour the cranberry gelatin mix and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl. Add the boiling water and stir until both the gelatin and cocoa are fully dissolved.

Stir in the cranberry juice until the mixture is smooth and uniform in color.

Add the vodka and mix well to combine.

Divide the liquid evenly among four small cups or shot glasses.

Chill the cups in the refrigerator for at least four hours until the shots are fully set.

Top each set shot with one tablespoon of whipped cream cheese before serving.
