Our Favorite Christmas Punch!
A Christmas punch is the perfect final touch to a holiday meal or a sweet addition to your holiday festivities or Christmas party.
Today’s recipe is a twist on our classic Pink Punch that we love so much.
Why we love it:
- Quick. This punch has a quick prep time and is ready in minutes (3 minutes to be exact!)
- SO easy. With a handful of ingredients, this punch is a cinch.
- For everyone! As this is a non-alcoholic Christmas punch, it’s perfect for all ages and great for your next holiday party.
- Flavor. With lots of fruity flavor, it’s refreshing and pairs perfectly with many main dishes or treats.
Only 5 Ingredients
- DOLE Pineapple Juice – or another brand of pineapple juice (For other flavors, you can use cranberry juice or even pomegranate juice).
- pink lemonade mix- do not make lemonade with it, you will just be using the powder in the recipe.
- Sprite- 7UP or another lemon-lime soda. You can also use ginger ale.
- orange slices- or lime slices
- fresh cranberries – or frozen cranberries
Easy Christmas Punch
- Add pineapple juice and lemonade mix to a large pitcher and mix well.
- Right before serving, add Sprite and mix well.
- Add ice and top with orange slices and cranberries and serve.
Recipe Tips
- Serve party punch. With the added pop of color from the garnishes I like to serve this easy Christmas punch recipe out of a clear clear drink dispenser, punch bowl, or pitcher. This way everyone can enjoy the look of it as well as the taste.
- Garnish Individual Drinks
- Add an orange slice and a few cranberries to the cups.
- As an added pop of color add a mint leaf to each cup.
- For a bit of extra flavor insert use cinnamon sticks to place in each cup.
- Sugar the rim: Pour sugar into a bowl that’s larger than the rim of your glasses. Moisten the rim using lemon juice or orange juice. After moistening the rim of the glass, dip it in sugar, and let it dry.
Storing Info
- Make ahead of time. Mix the pineapple juice and pink lemonade mix and slice the oranges. Keep in separate containers in the fridge for 1-2 days. An hour or so before serving add the sprite to the punch mix and top with the garnishes.
- STORE. Due to the carbonation in the soda, this holiday punch recipe will eventually go flat. In the meantime, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It is safe to drink for several days, even after the carbonation diminishes.
