I know holiday drinks can sometimes feel like too much work or come out way too sweet, but I’ve tested this one until it’s perfectly balanced and stress-free. It’s the kind of recipe you can make once and keep on repeat all season long. Over the years I’ve shared so many holiday recipes, and I know what works when you’re entertaining, this one is simple, reliable, and always a hit with kids and adults alike.

In a large pitcher or punch bowl, pour in the cranberry juice and orange juice. Stir until well combined.
Add the fresh or frozen cranberries to the punch. They’ll help chill the drink and add a festive pop of color.
Just before serving, pour in the ginger ale or Sprite. This keeps the punch bubbly and refreshing.
Give everything a gentle stir, then taste and adjust. If you like it sweeter, add more Sprite or orange juice; if you want it tangier, add a splash more cranberry juice.
Serve chilled over ice or straight from the pitcher or punch bowl.
