This Champagne Punch is festive, delicious and so pretty, too!
This recipe may be the most amazing treat to my taste buds in all year. Yes, it’s a holiday champagne punch, and I kid you not… it is SERIOUSLY delicious! Plus it’s easy to make in large quantities or small, depending on the occasion. I definitely plan on serving it at our holiday party and again on Christmas Day.
Holiday Champagne Punch Ingredients
3 cinnamon sticks
4 whole cloves
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups cranberry juice
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 bottle champagne, chilled
1 lemon, cut in quarters
Red rimming sugar
Instructions
Bring water, sugar, cinnamon sticks and cloves to boil in a small pot. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
While the mixture simmers, rim your champagne glasses with sugar. To do this, first rim the glass with lemon. Next, dip the rim in the red sugar.
Once the sugar water simmering is complete, discard cinnamon and cloves. Cool to room temperature and pour into large pitcher. Add cranberry juice and pineapple juice, and chill until you are ready to serve. At serving time, add chilled champagne and pour into your rimmed champagne glasses.
It is so pretty and festive!
The Tablers fell in love with this punch at first sip, and I can’t wait to serve it on Christmas Day! I know I’ll need more than one batch; I plan on tripling the recipe. I’ll separate the cooked sugar water into 3 batches. Then, right before serving a new batch, I’ll add the juices and the champagne.
Goodness… I love entertaining with sparkly, “Christmasy” things!
If you wish to serve for a New Year’s Eve party, you could substitute multi-color sprinkles for the red sugar. Doesn’t that sound festive? I hope you’ll try my holiday champagne punch!
Here are a few things that will help in making this recipe.

Thank you so much for the feature! Merry Christmas!
What a beautiful cocktail! Perfect for New Years! Thank you for sharing on Show Me Saturday!
Sounds and looks delicious! I can’t wait to make some after baby is born 🙂 Thanks for sharing on Sunday FUNday! I’ll be featuring you at this weekend’s party!
This looks amazing please advise which champagne you used a white or red and which one.
Hi Andrea,
You can also dip the rims in Grand Marnier…that’s the way I’ve been making it all these years. I also like to use nonpareils around the rim for New Years Eve parties or a New Years Day brunch. You can see how that looks in this post: http://betweennapsontheporch.net/champagne-punch-perfect-for-a-christmas-or-new-years-eve-party/
Thank you so much for linking up your yummy looking recipe on the Brag-Worthy Thursday link party, however, we are trying to stick to just DIY/home/craft posts, so we will have to delete your link. Thank you for understanding.
Can anyone advise how many this recipe serves? It sounds great for my in laws’ annual NYE party, but it would help to know how many batches to have pre prepared. Thanks!
Yes! So sorry to just get back to you. The recipe makes 8 servings. Let me know how it goes!
I’m planning on serving this at our NYE party….can anyone tell me how many the recipe serves? Thank you.
Yes! So sorry to just get back to you. The recipe makes 8 servings. I usually make enough for 2 batches but I wait to pour champagne in second batch when first is done (depending on how many I’ll be serving). Let me know how it goes!
Hello, This recipe is for how many glasses please ?
Yes! The recipe makes 8 servings. I usually make enough for 2 batches but I wait to pour champagne in second batch when first is done (depending on how many I’ll be serving). Let me know how it goes!
Thank you for your reply !!! We will try it tomorrow eve. =)
I’ve had this recipe pinned for tomorrow night, thinking I had cinnamon sticks..looks like I used them! Has anyone tried ground cinnamon or should I go to the store?
Hi Tara! I think I would either go without cinnamon or go to the store. But I’ve never tried it without. I would think it would still taste amazing, but different!
Would you double all ingredients if you were using the large bottle of champagne from Costco?
If the large bottle is the same amount as 2 regular bottles, then yes!!!
