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!

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
![Holiday Punch Recipe (Non-Alcoholic) | Dessert Now Dinner Later (4) Holiday Punch Recipe (Non-Alcoholic) | Dessert Now Dinner Later (4)](https://i0.wp.com/www.dessertnowdinnerlater.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Holiday-Punch-3-700x467.jpg.webp)
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.
