Why You’ll Love It

So simple to prepare: All you have to do is combine the ingredients. If you run out of this holiday punch recipe, you can whip up a new batch in a few minutes.

Holiday Punch Recipe Ingredients

A complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.

White cranberry juice: This is made from white cranberries, which are harvested before they are fully ripe. Flavor-wise it’s milder than regular cranberry juice and not so tart.
Pina colada mixer: This mixer has coconut and pineapple flavors.
Lime club soda: For a zesty twist and some bubbles.
Ice: To keep your drink cool.
Cranberries and rosemary sprigs: For garnish.

Combine the ingredients: Mix the white cranberry juice with the pina colada mixer in a large pitcher or large punch bowl. Add the lime club soda, stirring to mix.
Garnish and serve: Fill glasses or a punch bowl with ice, add the cranberry juice mixture and garnish with fresh cranberries and/or rosemary sprigs. Serve immediately.

Substitutions and Variations

Alcoholic version: If desired, add 1 or 2 cups of vanilla vodka, rum, gin, or coconut rum to give it an adult twist. Adjust to taste and mix well.
Tweak the sweetness: Piña colada mixers vary in sweetness, so feel free to adjust the Christmas punch by adding less or more club soda, based on your taste preference.
Coconut rims: Rim the glasses with finely shredded coconut and add a sprig of rosemary for extra garish. 
Lime club soda: Can’t find it? You can use plain club soda with a squeeze of fresh lime juice or add a few dashes of lime-flavored sparkling water as a substitute. Sparkling apple cider or ginger ale would work too.
Red cranberry juice cocktail: No white cranberry juice? Regular red cranberry juice works, but it will change the punch’s color to a light pink or red rather than a snowy white. White cranberry juice maintains the “White Christmas” theme and has a milder taste.
Add-ins: A splash of orange juice or pomegranate juice or some orange slices are nice add-in options. You can use slices or chunks of other fresh fruit as a garnish if you want to get creative this holiday season.

Serving Suggestions

Appetizers: Your holiday party guests will love this Christmas tree charcuterie board. Roasted party nuts are always popular too.
Main dishes: Try something new this year, perhaps cream cheese and cranberry stuffed flank steak.
Desserts: This Polar Express dessert board is a show-stopper for sure, and pistachio biscotti is perfect served with those after-dinner coffees. Another idea is serving a ladle of this Christmas punch over a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to Store a Non Alcoholic Holiday Punch

Store: If you need to prepare the punch recipe ahead of time, mix the white cranberry juice and piña colada mixer, then add the lime club soda just before serving to keep it fizzy. Leftovers will keep overnight but some of the fizz will go.
Freeze: Don’t freeze this – it’s so easy to make fresh!
