Looking for the perfect holiday punch recipe? This Jingle Juice is sure to be a hit! This cocktail is simple, delicious, and beautiful! Even better? You only need three ingredients to craft this delicious holiday punch recipe that absolutely everyone will love!
One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all of the time spent with family and friends.
With get-togethers to attend and parties at your own place, it’s great to have a few delicious go-to recipes in your repertoire. That’s why I thought I’d tell you about my favorite (and super easy) drink to make for gatherings: Jingle Juice Holiday Punch.
The Easiest Holiday Punch
A couple of years ago a neighboring town hosted a Christmas open house in all of their little downtown shops. Adults had the option of buying a ticket and enjoying wine or a festive cocktail at each of the stores. I know, it sounds like trouble, but it was such a fun time.
One of the stores served this punch. It was delightful!
When I found out it was made with only three ingredients, I was even more impressed. I have no idea what the store owners called the punch so I decided to name it Jingle Juice because it’s a kick to say.

Jingle Juice Ingredients
As I mentioned above you only need three ingredients to make this Jingle Juice Holiday Punch.
- Whipped Vodka – The one I like is from Pinnacle brand. Smirnoff also makes a Whipped Cream vodka. If you can’t find whipped, try vanilla.
- Pink Champagne or Sparkling Rosé – I prefer one on the dry side to cut down on the sweetness of the punch.
- Cherry 7-up – I prefer the regular here, but you can certainly go with diet. If you can’t find this, you can also use Sprint Cranberry Zero, Cranberry Ginger Ale, or any berry lemon-lime soda.
How to Make this Holiday Punch
You really don’t need an explanation on how to put this together because it’s that simple, but I’m going to tell you anyway. Plus, I’ll give you some tips on how to fancify the recipe too!
There is also a printable recipe card with instructions at the end of this post.
1. Get a punch bowl or extra large pitcher and fill it with ice.
I decided to get fancy and make super-sized ice cubes (with these molds) that contained cranberries and rosemary. This is totally optional.
Another way to make it a bit more extra is to just toss in some cranberries. However, I think the ice cubes are such a fun touch and keep the holiday punch cold too.
2. Then add your three ingredients.
All you need is whipped vodka, pink champagne (or sparkling Rosé), and a 2-liter bottle of Cherry 7-up. Give it a quick stir and you’re ready to go.
3. Pour, sip, and enjoy!
It’s really that easy. Isn’t that color gorgeous?
The resulting cocktail is delicious and so festive. It’s definitely a crowd pleaser.
FAQs about Holiday Punch
I’ve made this recipe dozens of times over the years. I always get the same questions, so wanted to go ahead and answer them for you here in case you have them too!
Why is it called punch?
I took a deep dive to find the answer to this one! The rumor is that “punch” is from a hindi word that means “five”. Punch was first discovered in India and traditionally had 5 ingredients (alcohol, sugar, juice, spice, and water), so the name makes perfect sense!
This punch is even more simple with just 3 ingredients, but we’ll still call it punch. 😉
How can I make my holiday punch sweeter?
If you are a fan of drinks that are on the sweeter side, choose sweet pink champagne or sweet sparkling rosé. Prefer a less sweet holiday punch? Opt for a dry sparkling alcohol instead.
Typically, bottles will be labeled as sweet or dry, but if you aren’t sure how to tell, ask someone at the liquor store.
What’s the best way to serve this punch?
I’m serving up my punch in these simple, yet elegant double old-fashioned glasses. You can find them here.
You could also serve this in a punch bowl or beverage dispenser.
That’s a wrap on Jingle Juice!

I made this last Christmas (I’m WAY behind in posting) but a friend just asked for the recipe because she wants it for her 4th of July party – to each their own! Anyway, all my punch drinking family and friends loved this one. And I loved it because it was super easy!
I’m 5 months late posting this but such is life! This recipe was a smash hit at my NYE party! Everyone commented on how great it was! I didn’t have time for the ice cubes but plan to next time! I love your blog! It’s actually the first one I’ve ever followed 😊
Looooooove this punch! I used pink Prosecco, whipped vodka and cranberry ginger ale. Served it Christmas Eve. Everyone loved it!
Thank you!
Sorry – it was very, very sweet and nobody liked it including me. Not sure what could be done to eliminate the sugary sweetness. I used half diet and half regular soda and half the bottle of whipped vodka and the sparkling rose. Its very pretty and festive but yuck.
Donna, you should have made the recipe as described. You need the full bottle of whipped vodka. Also, if you choose a dry rose, it would cut down on the sweetness.
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I mix them up?
This looks so good! I love how simple the ingredient list is and how easy to make!
How did you get the cranberries to actually be sunken down in the ice cubes? When I did it they just floated to the top and stayed that way through freezing
Such awesome ideas on here. Thanks!
So glad you like them! Thank you!!

Is it bad it’s not even Christmas but I want to make these… They look so good I want to drive to the store right now and make them. Such awesome ideas on here. Thanks!
Do you think it would taste okay of I use regular vodka?
The whipped vodka really makes this punch special.
xo Michael
Do you think a brut champagne will be ok with this ? TIA
I’m excited to try this! Only thing is I accidentally bought rose wine (not sparkling)! Do you think it will turn out ok? There will still be fizziness from the 7up I know, but I hope it will still taste good.
I think you should be okay. 🙂
xo Michael
I bought barefoot bubbly pink moscato… will I be ok or will this be toooo sweet?
Thanks for sharing! Does it stay fizzy very long? Should I plan to make a batch every few hours?
If you’re making a batch every few hours, I’m coming to you party!! Lol. It will be fine for a couple hours, but you can mix half a batch at a time for ultimate fizziness.

I tried this out on thanksgiving and it was a hit! I just made 8 batches for a party and served out of beverage decanters. It was a real jingle in our christmas cheer party!
Made a double serving of this last night for 45 adults. It was delicious!! I was a little hesitant because I’m not a whipped cream fan, but I would describe the taste like a cherry vanilla soda. Such an easy recipe too since it’s all equal parts. Will definitely be making Jingle Juice again! Thanks for continuing to inspire!
You solved my problem for a good punch idea..thank you….always enjoy your posts
What the heck is “whipped” vodka?
It’s vodka flavored like whopped cream. 🙂
xo Michael
I adore this recipe! So easy and so delicious. Everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing!
I am making this tomorrow! I am inexperienced with alcohol and wondering if the vodka and rose should be chilled first? I have the vodka in the freezer right now😬
I can’t find the whipped vodka anywhere near me! Would vanilla vodka work? Thanks
It’s not exactly the same, but it should work just as nicely.
xo Michael
Thanks! You ARE the best! Xo
