This red Holiday Punch recipe is only 5 ingredients including fruit juice and club soda. It’s a fizzy, fruity, non-alcoholic Christmas drink. (3-ingredient sugar-free version also available.)
Welcome back! Today is day 4 of the 12 days of Christmas Sweets series here at Dessert Now, Dinner Later! What is a holiday party without punch?
This drink is one my family has EVERY YEAR at both Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s a non-alcoholic drink that is great for the whole family. With just a few ingredients it whips up so fast, and will be gone just as fast as it is made!
Holiday Punch Recipe
This holiday punch recipe is probably more tropical than Christmas-y, but the red color is perfect for the holidays. You can always add cranberry juice or something to make it more seasonal.
For this holiday punch recipe you will need:
- Tropical Punch Kool-Aid Mix
- Granulated Sugar
- Water
- Pineapple Juice
- Club Soda
Make sure all liquids are chilled. Simply stir everything except the club soda together in a punch bowl or pitcher until the sugar dissolves. Add the club soda just before serving. Can serve as-is or with ice.
NOTE: This recipe is easy to double, or make twice if your bowl/pitcher isn’t big enough. I pretty much always plan on buying twice the amount of ingredients. You will often have leftover pineapple juice anyway, might as well use it.

Sugar-Free Holiday Punch Recipe
If you’d rather not drink your calories during the holidays we’ve made a sugar-free version with very few calories that tastes just as delicious.
My mom actually thinks the sugar-free version tastes better than the original. (I think I might have to agree with her, but they are both delicious.) You will need:
- Tropical Punch Crystal Light Packets
- Water
- Sprite Zero
Stir the juice packets and water together in a large punch bowl. Add soda just before serving. Serve-as is or with ice.
NOTE: If you don’t have a large punch bowl, you may want to make half at a time to fit inside of a pitcher.
