35+ Easy Christmas Punch

If we love something about holiday parties, it’s definitely the food and drinks!

In celebration of the upcoming festive season, we have prepared this curated collection of the most delicious Christmas punch recipes, which include options for kids and also alcohol-free recipes for adults (expecting or breastfeeding moms will appreciate these).

The most important question first: what makes a good Christmas punch recipe?

The secret is in the name – the word punch comes from Hindi and means five. That’s a reference to the fact that a good punch would have the five mandatory ingredients that give this drink its distinct flavor. What are they?

Alcohol – rum, brandy or white wine are some of the popular options, but you can experiment with different flavours from the recipes we collected below.
Sugar – obviously you want your punch to be sweet, just enough to make you feel merry but not too much that it would put you off from drinking more. If you’re not a huge fine of refined sugar, there are other healthier alternatives you can use, just make sure you sample and test to ensure the flavor stays as close as possible to the real deal.
Lime or lemon juice – these are the classic juice choices for a standard punch, but these days other alternatives like cranberry juice, pineapple juice or even pomegranate juice are very popular.
Water – the ratio of water to alcohol and juice is very important, so make sure you don’t water down your punch too much
Spices – whether its cinnamon sticks, all spice or rosemary springs, spices make all the difference to the final flavor of your punch, so make sure you get them fresh and in correct measures.

Option but essential for Christmas – adding some pretty garnishes for your beverage, and serving it in a cute festive cup. That’s a sure way to not only please your guests bellies but their eyes too.
