Christmas Morning Punch
Christmas Morning Punch is the perfect drink to serve with brunch. It’s bright, fruity, fizzy, and looks so pretty! Plus, this recipe serves about 10, so there’s enough for everyone to enjoy. Easy to make and always good to the last drop, this tasty punch is a hit at every brunch!
This Christmas Morning Punch is the perfect addition to any holiday breakfast or brunch, but you can also enjoy it any time during the year. I just love how bright and cheery it is, and it looks so pretty in a punch bowl. No punch bowl? No problem! You can serve this from a pitcher, too.
Christmas morning punch
This is a non-alcoholic drink, but that doesn’t mean you can’t add a little bit of a kick to it! See my suggestions below to turn it into a boozy punch. If you want to keep it like it is, then this is a kid-friendly punch that you can jazz up with some fresh fruit slices and cranberries bobbing on the top. How pretty is that!
Keep the juices and soda in the fridge until you’re ready to make the punch, and then everything will be cold and refreshing. Also, see my tips about making festive ice cubes.
This is it! This is the best Christmas Morning Punch – one sip, and you will surely agree!
Why I love this recipe
- This Christmas punch recipe is so easy to make! It’s not too sweet, and has the right amount of fizz.
- There’s no alcohol in this punch, but it’s easy to turn it into mimosas or a boozy punch. See my suggestions below.
- You can tailor this recipe to your liking with a few swaps and substitutions.
Gather these ingredients
- Orange juice – Look for no pulp orange juice.
- Cranberry juice – Look for a cranberry juice blend or cocktail. Pure cranberry juice is too tart for this punch.
- Pineapple juice
- Pomegranate juice – I love using POM.
- Ginger ale
- Ice
- Fruit – Fresh cranberries, orange slices, pomegranate seeds or whatever you like.
- Fresh rosemary sprigs – Optional but such a pretty garnish.
How to make Christmas Morning Punch
- Refrigerate the juices overnight in their cartons/bottles or mix them together in a pitcher, so that they’re thoroughly chilled.
- Transfer the juices to a punch bowl and add the ginger ale, ice, and garnishes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Tips & substitutions
- You can use mango juice instead of orange juice for a more tropical spin on your brunch punch.
- Lemon-lime soda is a great swap for ginger ale. Use what you like! As long as it is bubbly it’ll work.
- To make your punch boozy, add 1-2 cups of white rum or vodka and stir it in well.
- To make this punch into a mimosa mixer. Add Champagne or Prosecco to a fluted glass and top it off with the punch mix.
- Freeze cranberries inside ice cubes for cute floating garnishes.
Serving suggestions
This Christmas punch goes down easily and I love serving it in a punch bowl or large pitcher for my family to help themselves. I serve it along with amazing breakfast casseroles, brunch boards, or tasty breakfast pastries. Serve it with any meal where you’d normally offer juice!
Storage
Pop any leftover punch into the fridge and keep it cold. The fizz will go flat but it’ll still taste delicious, and it’ll be fine in the fridge for up to a week.
