How To Make Cranberry Orange Holiday Punch
Step One: Prep Tray
Prepare a tray for the holiday punch ahead of time. Put cranberries in one bowl and sliced apples in another. Quick kitchen hack: soak the appleslices in club soda for 30 seconds to help prevent browning. Cut oranges into small wedges and slide them onto cinnamon sticks. Store the fruit in the fridge until ready to serve.
Step Two: Make Punch Concentrate
Mix together cranberry juice, apple cider, and orange juice concentrate. Store it in the fridge until ready to serve so that it stays chilled.
Step Three: Serve
When ready to drink, put a few cranberries and apple slices in a glass. Add a little ice and about 3/4 cup of the juice mixture. Fill the rest of the cup with about 1/4 cup of lemon-lime soda or ginger ale, and top the cup with a cinnamon stick.
Cranberry Orange Punch Bowl
If you prefer to serve the non alcoholic Christmas punch from a bowl, put the concentrate in a punch bowl with ice cubes, cranberries, and apple slices. Slowly pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda.
This cranberry orange holiday punch is delicious and refreshing and looks beautiful on the table for your Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It’s a beverage everyone in the family can enjoy!

How do you get that cranberry color in the punch?
The color of your punch will depend on the cranberry juice you use. You can add a little food coloring if you want to make it more red.
Can I use freshly squeezed orange juice instead of the concentrate?

Thank you for the recipe. The punch tasted great and I would definitely make it again.!!! However, it does not look anything like the picture. The picture is so refreshing and pretty. The finished product looks more like cider than cranberry. That was the only disappointment.Reply

I made this for Thanksgiving, my daughter and I loved this. I think we are addicted to it. Thanks for the recipe. Very refreshing, great blend of ingredients, and so smooth.Reply

Delicious sounding recipe, though I would like to substitute fresh orange juice for the concentrated orange juice. Concentrate doesn’t have that fresh orange taste, and also causes indigestion in many people. Any suggestion for doing that? I was thinking maybe just 2-3 cups of it?
