Bring the Christmas cheer with this winter flavored Non-Alcoholic Christmas Punch. This punch takes 5 minutes to make and is naturally sweetened.
After making a Thanksgiving punch that was a huge hit, I knew Christmas punch was necessary. This is a winter version of my popular Thanksgiving punch. It features flavors like cranberry, orange, and pomegranate. Garnish with rosemary for that Christmas tree vibe.
This non-alcoholic version of punch is such a great option for holiday parties. It feeds a crowd and brings all the holiday vibes.

Why I love this Non-Alcoholic Christmas Punch
- No Alcohol - of course! This punch is still incredibly flavorful and lovely to drink! If you want to add alcohol I give the quantity and type of liquor below
- Dietary needs - besides being alcohol-free this mocktail is plant-based, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free
- It's naturally sweetened! - fruit juices and my maple simple syrup recipe are all naturally sweet, and significantly less processed than other sugars like sweet liquors
- Quick and easy - this punch only takes 5 minutes to make
- Great for kids and adults - the kids can have fun feeling like an adult and the adults can enjoy a cocktail without the effects of alcohol
- Festive flavors - enjoy all the classic winter flavors, like cranberry orange
Ingredient Notes & Substitutions
- Apple Cider: most apple ciders are just made from apples - double check to make sure the brand you buy doesn't have added sugar
- Cranberry Juice: look for unsweetened cranberry juice. If you can't find unsweetened juice, I recommend tasting for sweetness before adding the maple simple syrup
- Orange Juice: look for no-pulp options!
- Pomegranate Juice: look for this in the refrigerated section, instead of the juice aisle. If you can't find it, use more cranberry juice
- Maple Simple Syrup: my Maple Simple Syrup recipe is SO easy. It's just like a regular simple syrup - a 1:1 ratio of maple syrup to water
- Oranges, Cranberries, Pomegranate Arils: these fruits really bring the punch to life! Buy smaller oranges so the sliced fruits can fit in each glass.
- Seltzer or Club Soda: any unsweetened sparkling water is fine here.
- Fresh Rosemary: optional, but gives Christmas tree vibes
Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1. In a large punch bowl or pitcher, mix the cider, orange juice, cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, simple syrup, orange slices, cranberries, and pomegranate seeds. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, even overnight.
Step 2. Add club soda and serve. Garnish with fresh rosemary.
FAQ & Expert Tips
Christmas vibes: add a shot of bourbon or rye.
Traditional punch: add vodka or rum.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to a week. I find that a large mason jar is perfect for efficiently storing leftovers.
Recipe Prayer
Thank you God for this punch. Thank you for alcohol-free drinks everyone can enjoy this holiday season. Amen.
