This Holiday Pomegranate Punch recipe is part of the #ChristmasSweetsWeek promotion.  I have been sent products to facilitate this post, however, all opinions are my own. For more information, please see my For more information, please see our Disclosure Policy. #ad #ChristmasSweetsWeek #drinkforjoy #Torani

If made with alcohol, this recipe is intended for individuals ages 21 & up. Please drink responsibly.

I just love celebrating the holidays with my family and friends. I’ve been making versions of this Pomegranate Punch for years now and it’s always a hit with everyone, just like this Chocolate Bundt Cake I served at my last holiday party.

Cider and eggnog are great, but for me, there’s nothing more festive than the combination of cranberry and pomegranate flavors!

I adore the mixture of pomegranate and cranberry juices. The pucker from the cranberry and hint of lime are perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the pomegranate juice. Add your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic bubbly drink as desired for the perfect Christmas Punch!

Serve this festive punch on Christmas Eve or for any holiday event (it’s great for Thanksgiving, too!) and customize it any way you want.

For a non-alcoholic Christmas Punch omit the sparkling wine, prosecco or champagne and use sparkling white grape juice or sparkling apple cider.

Pomegranate Punch Shopping List:

  • pomegranate and cranberry juices
  • ginger ale
  • limes and oranges
  • sparkling wine, prosecco or champagne
  • whole cranberries
  • pomegranate seeds
  • Torani Pomegranate syrup

*To make a mocktail, use (1) 750mL of sparkling white grape juice or sparkling apple cider.

Setting the Party Atmosphere

Of course, decorations go a long way toward making your party festive, but it’s the little things that make it really special.  Be sure to plan what you will serve and include a few easy make-ahead type recipes, such as Mocha Truffles and our fun Antipasto Sticks which can be done up the day before. Easy Christmas Cookie Bark is a great recipe to make ahead also. 

Last Minute Entertaining - Simple Meat and Cheese Platter

A simple but tasty Meat and Cheese Platter is always a hit and can be assembled quickly just before the party.

Tangy tart fruits like pomegranate and cranberries pair very well with brie and cheddar cheeses. This punch is also tasty with apples and cucumbers.

You could use a punch bowl and cups to serve your pomegranate punch and I think that’s a great way to go if you have kids at your gathering.  For adults though, I love using my “good” glasses.  These highball glasses are from JoyJolt and they are just lovely!  No event is complete without the perfect Glassware. Take your party to the next level with glassware from Joyjolt.com.

Festive Idea: Instead of Mimosas, serve this cranberry pomegranate punch with champagne on Christmas morning!

Pro-Tip:  Make Cranberry-Pomegranate Ice Cubes

No one wants a watered-down punch, right?  The trick to keeping your punch cold but not watered down is to make some Cranberry-Pomegranate cubes ahead of time.  It’s really easy to do. 

  1. Just combine equal amounts of cranberry and pomegranate juices and pour into extra-large ice cube trays filling two-thirds of the way full.  
  2. Add a little extra festive touch with fresh cranberries and pomegranate seeds in each well in the mold.
  3. Freeze until solid.
