In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, chia seeds, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and orange zest.
Divide the chia mixture into serving jars or bowls. Swirl the cranberry mixture into each jar.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and thicken.
Garnish with fresh orange slices and cranberries before serving.
