How to make jingle juice holiday Christmas punch
This holiday cocktail is one of the easiest drinks you’ll ever make!
- Into a large pitcher or punch bowl pour in cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, orange juice, lemonade concentrate (can be frozen using), and rum(or vodka).
- Add ice, frozen cranberries, orange slices, lemon wedges, cinnamon stick and star anise.
- Stir in gently.
- Pour into serving glasses garnished with rosemary sprig, lemon wedges, orange slices, and cinnamon stick. Toss in some more ice cubes if needed. Make it look as festive and pretty and complicated as you like or keep it real simple.
How to make non-alcoholic Christmas punch
You can easily make a non-alcoholic mocktail by substituting rum or vodka with sprite or 7 UP. Kids would love this mocktail. It’s fruity, punchy and so Christmassy!
Tips for best Christmas punch
- Use pure 100% juice blends. I prefer Ocean Spray. Skip the cocktail mixes as they contain water and other flavors.
- It’s best to mix in cranberry juice with other juices. It’s pleasant to drink. Also, make sure you buy sweetened cranberry juice. Unsweetened cranberry juice is too tart and not too pleasant to drink.
- Use frozen cranberries. Frozen fruits act like ice which not only keeps the drink chilled but also makes cranberries float on top. Making it looks pretty!
- Make sure to use chilled or even frozen lemonade concentrate and soda thereby you don’t have to use too much ice to keep the drink chilled. So the drink won’t get too diluted.
- You can use homemade freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of store-bought lemonade. Use about 4-5 lemons to squeeze out its juices.
- If you want to infuse spice flavors into the drink, add cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise into cranberry fruit juice and let it sit in the fridge for 12 hours or overnight. The next day, spice flavors would be infused into the juice. Use it to make the drink.
- If making a non-alcoholic version with spite or 7 UP, best to serve the drink fresh, soon as it’s stirred. Soda will turn flat if stored for a long time.

Shelley says
Oh I’m so excited to find this recipe! I’m often assigned to bring a special beverage to family holiday gatherings, along with whatever else I’m making, and this one is just an absolute home run! So gorgeous! And, I really love that I can make it in two different versions, both with and without alcohol – and it’s delicious either way! A lot of alcohol-based party beverages just aren’t that good once you take alcohol out of the equation, but we have lots of kids in the family, as well as many people who aren’t really big drinkers – so this is extra-perfect! Thank you!
