Sparkling Cranberry Apple Punch for the Holidays

Filed Under: Christmas, Holiday Recipes, Recipes Tagged With: noads

Jump to Recipe

Nothing rounds out a holiday meal like a delicious punch made from seasonal fruit juices. This holiday sparkling cranberry apple punch is made by mixing equal portions of Simply Cranberry and Simply Apple juice and gets its sparkling bubbles from Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry soda. So delicious and easy! This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser.

As a little girl, my FAVORITE part of our holiday dinners was the delicious fruit punch that my grandma made. She would combine fruit juice with lemon lime soda, and it was so crisp and refreshing! I shared her frozen fruit punch recipe on here a few years ago, and am excited to share another family favorite recipe with you today.

My kids all love the combination of cranberry cocktail and apple juice. On special occasions I add Sprite to it to create a sparkling cranberry apple punch that is perfect for the holidays.

You can make one glass or a giant punch bowl full, the ratio of juice to soda is the same. In addition to crushed ice, you can add frozen cranberries to chill the punch as well as garnish it!

I found a 12 pack of limited edition Sprite Winter Spiced Cranberry soda at Kroger and knew that it would be the perfect addition to my sparkling punch. You get the tangy lemon-lime flavors that you expect from Sprite with a hint of cranberry. It’s delicious and perfect for the holiday season.

For a delicious warm holiday drink try our slow cooker holiday wassail recipe. It combines Simply Orang and Simply Apple juice with pineapple juice and spices. Not only is it absolutely delicious, but it fills your home with the wonderful scents of citrus, cinnamon and cloves.

This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anyti This kid knows a good thing when he sees it. Anytime my camera and tripod go up, he’s right there waiting. Today we made our favorite green smoothie. It’s all about balance—-just kidding. We all know that’s a lie. I have like 10 healthy recipes on my site and 800 breads and desserts. 😂

Tip: when buying produce, buy extra to freeze. I buy an extra pineapple, an extra package of grapes, an extra bunch of bananas and an extra bag of spinach and freeze them for smoothies. I slice everything up and freeze it on baking sheets then bag it up. It makes it easy to grab a handful to toss into a blender. You can freeze entire bags of spinach too and add a handful to smoothies. I always blend my spinach and water first then add the rest of the fruit. No little spinach chunks in the smoothie that way. 🙌🏻

This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother This cutie is working on a hat for her big brother for Christmas. We love this little set of round knitting looms. A great project to work on during Christmas break. She’s making herself a pink one after Christmas. We bought several colors of bulky yarn at Walmart for $2.97 each. Each skein makes 1 hat.

Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Sant Tomorrow is all about gingerbread cookies for Santa (although the Santa who comes to our house prefers sugar cookies. He can share these with Mrs. Claus). Ruby has them all picked out—-gingerbread boys, gingerbread girls, and ninja-bread cookies. Should be fun. Had to go out and get more molasses and it wasn’t easy to find! Everyone else must be making gingerbread, too!

Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas Gnomes and llamas made their way to our Christmas cookies this year and I’m wondering why we didn’t use them before! So cute ($1 at Target). My 9 year old decorated most of the cookies that you see in this photo. I taught her how to use a piping bag, a star tip, and a round tip last year and she hit the ground running. Check out our stories for 6 cookie tutorials for kids using the same frosting tips!
