If you're looking for a fun cocktail to serve this Thanksgiving and Christmas then this Holiday Punch is it! This recipe is also delicious as a mocktail that even the kids will love! When I made this recipe the first time, all I could think was how amazing this drink would look in a big punch bowl, like high school dance style complete with a ladle! The floating cranberries make this drink so festive and would just add to the punch bowl look as well.

The recipe makes one cocktail, but you can multiply it by however many guests you anticipate and then serve it in the punch bowl. Leave the cinnamon sticks out in a little dish on the side so people can ladle their punch and then stick a cinnamon stick in it. This Holiday Punch would be an amazing addition to your Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year's gathering.

Why You'll Love This Recipe

Seasonal and Festive: I love this cocktail because it's so festive with the fresh cranberries and cinnamon stick. It really feels like the holidays!

Cocktail or Mocktail: This drink is just as delicious as a cocktail or mocktail, so if you have kids around they can enjoy it with just the cider and pear juice.

Easy: This is an easy cocktail to make, you can even leave out the liquor and juices and let guests mix it themselves. Or you can set up a punch bowl as this would be a gorgeous way to display this festive drink.
