Let’s Talk About This Christmas Morning Punch Recipe
MAIN INGREDIENTS: cranberry-pineapple juice blend, orange juice, lemon-lime soda, vodka, raspberry liqueur, grenadine, ice, fresh orange slices
QUICK STEPS: combine cranberry-pineapple juice and orange juice in a pitcher, add lemon-lime soda and vodka, pour in raspberry liqueur, stir in grenadine, top with ice and garnish with orange slices
TOTAL TIME AND YIELD: 5 minutes, 11 servings
Why This Recipe
- Balanced Holiday Flavors: The combination of cranberry-pineapple juice and orange juice provides a fruity, festive base that’s just right for holiday celebrations without being overly sweet.
- Quick and Easy to Make: This recipe only takes five minutes to prepare, which means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the holiday with family and friends.
- Garnish for a Festive Touch: Fresh orange slices make this punch visually appealing and add a final burst of citrusy brightness, creating a beautiful presentation that complements the flavors perfectly.
Easy Christmas Morning Punch Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 2 cups of cranberry-pineapple juice blend
- 1 cup of orange juice
- 1 cup of lemon-lime soda (like 7Up or Sprite brands)
- ½ cup of vodka
- ½ cup of raspberry liqueur
- ½ cup of grenadine
- Ice for the glass
- Fresh orange slices for garnish
PRO TIP:
This is a great recipe that can be modified according to your taste. For example, if you can not find a cranberry-pineapple juice blend, then you can just use equal parts cranberry juice and pineapple juice.
You can also substitute the lemon-lime soda for ginger ale or plain sparkling water. You can also adjust the proportions of each ingredient in this Christmas punch recipe.
Christmas Punch Substitutions And Additions
RASPBERRY LIQUEUR: If you want to save some money at the liquor store, you can buy raspberry-infused vodka (instead of the two separate items) for this alcoholic beverage.
I don’t suggest skipping the grenadine, though, because it gives this easy Christmas punch that beautiful color and a touch of sweetness to cut through the citrus juices.
How To Make This Christmas Morning Punch Recipe
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
This is a small-batch cocktail, so if you plan on serving it to a lot of guests during the holiday season, then it is very easy to double or triple this holiday punch recipe to make a big batch in a large bowl to serve your guests.
STEP ONE: In a 1.5-liter pitcher or punch bowl, combine the cranberry-pineapple juice blend and orange juice.
STEP TWO: Pour in the lemon-lime soda and vodka.
STEP THREE: Pour in the raspberry liqueur.
STEP FOUR: Add the grenadine and stir well.
STEP FIVE: Top with ice cubes and garnish with slices of oranges.
PRO TIP:
You could also add fresh cranberries to your punch bowl or large pitcher for a bright pop of color.
How To Serve This Easy Punch
Add this delightful drink to your holiday festivities, along with a warm batch of caramel pecan cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning brunch.
For the little ones, try our Christmas punch, which is just as delicious and fizzy without the alcohol added.
This festive holiday punch should be served chilled. You can make it ahead of time; however, I suggest waiting until you are ready to serve it to add the lemon-lime soda and ice to the rest of the punch ingredients.
You want the soda to give that needed little bit of freshness, and you do not want your ice to water down your Christmas morning punch before you are ready to serve and drink.
For a variety of fun and festive grown-up Christmas cocktails for your next party, try our drunken Rudolph and spiked hot chocolate, both tasty adult hot chocolate drink recipes.

Fun, bright, and festive, this Christmas morning punch is a delightful drink to serve all the adults on Christmas day or at a holiday party. The festive colors and delicious flavors will be a hit with everyone who tries it.

IThis sounds like a really refreshing drinkfor a Christmas day. However if it is cold a better drink would be the spiked hot chocolate. I would have to make the punch withSprite. That would be really refreshing with the juices. Would love to have this on Christmas but can’t drink due to medication. What a downer.
Bobbie says
This sounds so yummy! I think I will try it with ginger-ale, though, so it’s not as sweet.
Thank you! Merry Christmas!

I will almost certainly offer this AND spiked (with Peppermint RunChata) hot chocolate topped with peppermint whipped cream – especially if the forecasted weather becomes a reality on Christmas morning!
Merry Christmas! I have so enjoyed your site!

I will be making this but will use ginger ale instead of the lemon lime soda. This will add a nice touch to our celebration as we will be celebrating our anniversary on this date also. Something a little different than the traditional champagne.
