Non-alcoholic Christmas punch in pitcher.

I love a good Holiday punch and this one is so simple to make in minutes. Christmas can be crazy busy and it's great to be able to grab a few ingredients and pour them into a punch bowl or pitcher for an elegant look.

This recipe is fizzy with cranberry and raspberry flavors. Sorbet adds a bit of creaminess and richness to the mix.

You also have the option to make Holiday ice cubes, which are super fun and have cranberry, orange and rosemary frozen right into them. It's a nice final touch, if you have time to make them ahead.

A Holiday Favorite. This red fizzy cranberry punch is a must have for Christmas gatherings and great for New Year's Eve too!
Kid Friendly. It's made without alcohol so everyone can enjoy it.
Quick. Ready in minutes!
Minimal Ingredients. Don't break the bank with a million ingredients. It's only 3 ingredients for the punch and 3 ingredients if you decide to make the ice cubes.

Pair this punch with popular Holiday appetizers, like these bacon cream cheese pinwheels, mini meatballs, rotel dip slow cooker, and cheesy stuffed garlic bread.

Ingredients:

Cranberry Juice: The base of the punch. Make sure to use Cranberry Juice from concentrate, like Ocean Spray, otherwise it will be bitter.

7 Up: Adds sweetness and a fizzy taste to the punch.

Sorbet: Talenti Raspberry Sorbet adds flavor and a creamy, richness. It's dairy free too, which is a plus for people with dairy allergies.

Holiday Ice Cubes: Made up of fresh rosemary, cranberries and orange pieces frozen into the ice cubes for a festive look.

Substitutions and Variations:

The 7up can be substituted with Sprite or Ginger Ale.

How to Make Non-alcoholic Christmas Punch (Step by Step Instructions):

Step 1: (Optional) Make the Holiday Ice Cubes. About 12-24 hours before serving the punch, prepare the holiday ice cubes by adding 1 fresh cranberry, a small sprig of rosemary with a few needles, and a small piece of orange into each ice cube space. Carefully fill with water and freeze until ready to serve the punch.

Step 2: Into the punch bowl, combine the 7up and Cranberry Juice and stir a few times.

Step 3: Top with large spoonfuls of sorbet.

Step 4: Serve the punch in glasses with holiday or regular ice cubes. Enjoy!

Expert Tips:

Serve with plastic cups for easy clean up, especially if you are hosting a lot of people.
Make this punch right before the party starts so the 7up stays fizzy and doesn't get flat.
If you're making the ice, I suggest making it the day before serving the punch for the best results. Slice the oranges into really small pieces, so they fit into the ice molds.

Recipe FAQs:

Can I add ice to the punch?

Yes, but I prefer to add to each glass when serving to prevent watering down the punch too much.

Can I add alcohol to this punch?

Yes, Rum or Vodka would be delicious in this punch. You can also just leave the bottles to the side of the punch if adults want to mix a shot in.

Why serve punch at parties?

Punch is great to serve at parties because guests can help themselves to it. On major holidays or big parties where I'm doing a lot of cooking, I always set up a drink station with punch, sodas, waters, wine, etc. so I can keep the food going as guests come in. This way I don't have to stop what I'm doing, and they can get whatever they like to drink.
