Drain the canned cherries and the canned pineapple, reserving 1-1/2 cups juice (combined total). In a microwave oven or on the stove top, heat the reserved fruit juice, just until it starts to boil. In a large bowl, dissolve both boxes of jello in the hot fruit juice; stir. Stir in the chilled Coca-Cola. Chill the mixture until partially thickened. Mix the drained bing cherries, drained pineapple, and nuts together. Beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Fold the beaten cream cheese and the fruit mixture into the partially thickened jello mixture. Chill in a large serving bowl until firm or pour the mixture into a mold and chill until firm.
