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 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.
