What is the purpose of punch?

Does punch really need a purpose? It's just so much fun to drink! I have such fond memories growing up of drinking punch out of a fancy glass when I was little.

It was a way that I could feel fancy and part of the party and be a bit of a grown-up during that time, too.

Having a great punch recipe that you can rely on is always a good idea because it's nice to have an option besides just water and soda to serve your guests. Plus, when you add this delicious punch recipe to some festive glasses, it really is quite beautiful, too.

Can you Freeze Punch for Later?

You can! If you make this punch up completely and want to freeze it for later, that can be a great idea to plan ahead and save you some time. The Sprite that is added to this punch recipe is going to freeze for sure as well the rest of the ingredients, too.

Frozen punch will then need to be unthawed before serving so you're going to need to plan on that for part of your preparation process as well.

And if you time it just right, you actually might be able to have a punch slushie with half of it being unthawed while the other half isn't. That tastes so good!

Ingredients Needed to Make this Simple Cranberry Punch

• Cranberry Pomegranate juice blend
• Orange juice (pulp-free)
• Sprite
• Ice
• Alcohol of your choice (optional)

What are Good Garnishes for a Holiday Punch Recipe?

There are so many great options that you can use for a garnishment. Some of my favorite options are fresh cranberries, slices of orange, and slices of lime.

But you can seriously use a wide variety of other tasty options as well.

What Can I use to Serve My Simple Cranberry Punch Instead of a Punch Bowl?

If you don't have a punch bowl, no problem. All you need are a couple of pitchers and some fancy glasses to make this punch recipe stand out. It's really as simple as that.

Perfect for a Christmas morning punch recipe.

A bunch bowl might be necessary for when you're serving a large crowd but if you're only worrying about a handful of close family and friends, you don't need to go out and spend money on a punch bowl at all.

Can You Make Punch Ahead of Time?

You bet. Just make certain to leave out any ice until you're ready to serve. The ice melting is what is going to take away from the punch and will cause it to be watered down and not tasting very well.

What are Some Other Fun Ways that You Can Serve this Holiday Punch?

Here's the thing. Don't limit yourself to ways that you can have fun and serve this Christmas morning punch recipe. While you can easily serve it and have everyone sip away on it as is, don't forget that you can easily add a few fun ideas as well to make this simple punch recipe stand out from the rest.

You can add in other frozen fruit as well like frozen strawberries and frozen blueberries that will not only add fun colors but fun tastes, too.

There are also ice cubes that you can buy that don't melt and are unique shapes that could be a really cute addition.

If you're gearing up to make a holiday punch recipe that you know everyone is going to like, you're not going to want to miss out on this simple cranberry punch recipe. This holiday punch is fast, refreshing, and crazy easy to make!
