- whole cranberries - fresh cranberries are an easy way to add Christmas cheer
- pomegranate slices - buy a large pomegranate without any bruises
- fresh mint and rosemary - a great way to add beautiful garnishes and flavor
How To Make It
STEP 1: Refrigerate ingredients overnight so they will be cold when serving.
STEP 2: In a large punch bowl or glass container, mix pomegranate juice, cranberry juice and raspberry lemonade together. Add ginger ale just before punch is ready to serve and stir in the bubbles!
STEP 3: Slice a fresh pomegranate and add slices to the bowl. They will float for hours! Add a few fresh whole cranberries and rosemary sprigs. Save the rest to garnish individual glasses.
STEP 4: Serve it over plenty of ice for the best flavor!
Want To Make It Boozy?
If you'd like to add a little extra holiday spirit and make this beverage a holiday cocktail, try adding a splash of white rum, vodka or sparkling wine to the mix. Serve it over plenty of ice for a bubbly drink your adult guests will love.
Serve it Hot or Cold
This is one of the best Christmas punch recipes to enjoy both hot or cold. I like to heat it up while decorating the Christmas tree and serve it with Santa's Chocolate Chip Cookies. Or, enjoy it for breakfast with Apple Pie Filled Cinnamon Rolls!
To serve it as a hot beverage, mix all ingredients (except ginger ale) in a dutch oven or large pot and allow it to simmer over low heat until cranberries pop open. Add ¼ cup brown sugar if desired and stir well. Throw in a few cinnamon sticks for extra flavor.
Variations
- Substitute orange juice, pineapple juice or limeade for any of the fruit juices.
- Add cinnamon sticks and ground cloves for a spiced punch.
- Use club soda instead of ginger ale if you want your punch to be less sweet.

Tips for Success

- For best results, refrigerate juices and ginger ale overnight so this beverage will be nice and cold (unless you're making the mulled version).
- Add the ginger ale at the last minute so it will still be sparkling when served.
- The garnishes make this recipe! If you don't have pomegranate, substitute sliced oranges, pears or limes.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Freeze leftovers in a clean, empty milk jug for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 3 days and cut jug open with scissors over a bowl or large container. Add ginger ale and mix well. Garnish as desired.
What to Serve with Christmas Punch
I have precious memories of gathering with family on Christmas Eve and watching our kids open gifts from their grandparents. We always made this non-alcoholic Christmas punch recipe to go with Sausage Balls and an adorable Pigs in a Blanket wreath!
This refreshing beverage goes great with your favorite appetizers at holiday parties. It's the perfect pairing with an Aldi Charcuterie Board if you're expecting a big crowd.
Serve it with Pimento Cheese and crackers alongside Whipped Feta Dip. You can also display an elegant spread of Raspberry Cheese Bites with a Holiday Cheese Ball Trio or Cream Cheese Ball.
