How To Make Cranberry Pomegranate Holiday Punch

Non-alcoholic Christmas punch

Recipe Notes

Any leftover punch can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. 

If you don’t have a punch bowl you can also serve your punch in a large glass mixing bowl or a large pitcher!

I would recommend using well-chilled juice and soda to make this punch. But you can also add an ice ring, or a large handful of ice cubes to your punch to keep it cold while serving.

If you can’t find cranberry pomegranate juice. You can use 3 cups 100% pomegranate juice and 3 cups cranberry juice cocktail mix instead. On the same note, if you aren’t a fan of ginger ale soda, you easily substitute your favorite lemon-lime soda or even use club soda instead!
