What Could I Add to Holiday Punch?
- Lemon or lime juice: Or slices added to the punch bowl for subtle citrusy brightness.
- Vegan orange sherbet: Add a few scoops to the punch bowl or one per glass.
- Prefer it non fizzy? Maybe try replacing the fizzy ingredients with coconut water or a small amount of ginger-based cordial + water.
- Your favorite fruits: You can jazz it up and make it more hearty by adding in your favorite winter fruits.
How to Make Non Alcoholic Christmas Punch
Step 1: In a large pitcher or a bowl, mix the orange juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, 2 cups of sparkling water, ginger ale, and a cinnamon stick. Mix gently, taste, and add more sparkling water to your desired sweetness level.
Step 2: Optionally, garnish the non-alcoholic Christmas punch with diced or sliced apple, orange slices, and cranberries – enjoy!
FAQs
There are several ways – you could place the punch bowl over a larger container of ice, use frozen garnishes (fruit), or make ice cubes from the punch juice blend. You can also try reusable ice cubes.
A general rule recommends making one gallon (16 cups) of punch per 10 guests (about 3 servings of 4oz each). Other sources recommend making enough for 2-3 6 oz servings per guest, making extra for a particularly long event.

Pro Recipe Tips
- Don’t add fizz too soon: Only add it when serving, so it doesn’t lose its fizz too soon.
- Use chilled juice: This ensures the holiday punch is super refreshing.
- Avoid adding ice: If you do, I highly recommend freezing a portion of the fruit juice blend. That way, it won’t dilute the Christmas punch once it melts. You can also try using reusable ice cubes.
- Sweeten to taste: By adjusting how much sparkling water you add. Alternatively, leave additional sparkling water beside the punch bowl so guests can customize their cup.
- Don’t skip the garnishes: They really bring together the Christmas aesthetic and transform this non alcoholic Christmas punch into a table centerpiece.
Storage Instructions
If you plan to store this non alcoholic Christmas punch recipe for any amount of time, I recommend only adding the ginger ale and sparkling water (aka any fizzy ingredients) just before serving – otherwise, they could go flat. I keep mine in these bottles that have lids.
The juice blend can be stored in the fridge for 5-7 days (best consumed within 2-3 if you’re using freshly squeezed juices).
For serving, you can either have it in a punch bowl with a ladle or a pitcher.
