In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar using a hand or stand electric mixer. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, then scrape the sides.
Add in the eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, and milk, and beat on medium speed, until mixed well. Scrape sides again, to ensure that all of the ingredients are mixed together.
Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Add the cranberries and stir on low speed, or by hand, until they are distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into two loaf pans. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
