This Christmas champagne punch is the perfect holiday cocktail. I make it with cranberry juice, pink lemonade, and limeade; it’s fizzy, tart, colorful, and so delicious. I can easily make up a pitcher in minutes. I love topping it with a little lime sherbet and serving it to offset a heavy holiday meal.

Easy Christmas Champagne Punch Recipe
This Christmas champagne punch is so refreshing and delicious. I guarantee it’ll get everyone in the holiday spirit with its contrasting red and green colors. It’s super easy to make non-alcoholic for the kiddos, too! Just leave out the champagne and only add it to the adults’ glasses. May your holidays be filled with friends, food, and festive cocktails!
Tips for Beginners
- For the best results, I recommend pre-chilling all of the ingredients.
- I don’t recommend adding ice to the pitcher, as this will dilute the drink. Instead, add ice to individual glasses before pouring.
- For a virgin variety of this delicious drink, simply omit the champagne. You could mix in a can of lemon-lime soda or ginger beer if you want, or leave it out. There are still plenty of delicious flavors happening in this drink to please the taste buds.

How to Make Christmas Champagne Punch Step by Step
Mix the punch: Combine 12 oz. (1 can) of frozen cranberry juice concentrate, 12 oz. (1 can) of frozen pink lemonade concentrate, 12 oz. (1 can) of frozen limeade concentrate, 2250 mL (3 bottles) of brut champagne, 16 oz. (2 cups) of club soda, and 16 oz. (2 cups) of water. Stir to combine.
Garnish and serve: Top each glass with lime sherbet and lime slices if desired.
How to Store
Because this cranberry champagne punch is sparkling, it’s best not to make it too far ahead of time or it will lose its fizz. You can mix the concentrates and water ahead of time and keep it covered in the fridge, then, just add the champagne and soda water when you are ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
You can serve this Christmas champagne punch as is, but I like to make it a little extra special by topping the glasses with lime sherbet and a wedge of fresh lime. To make the glasses more festive, you could add a sugar rim before pouring the drinks or pop in a few sugared cranberries . Serve this festive punch alongside appetizers like this Christmas cheese ball recipe and candied walnuts .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
