25 Best Christmas Punch Recipes – Easy Holiday Big Batch Cocktails

Give yourself the best gift of all this Christmas: not playing bartender all night at your holiday party! Big batch cocktails and holiday punches are truly the gift that keep on giving, and we’ve got plenty that will keep the party going strong until New Year’s. Our recipes for Jingle Juice, Prosecco punch, or cranberry sangria just take a few minutes to mix up, and then you’ll be well on your way to making merry.

Any of your favorite cocktails can be made in large batches when you mix it in the right order: alcohol first, then flavorings, then any fruit or bubbly at party time. Sangria is one of the easiest big-batch cocktails to make ahead, and we’ve got plenty of recipes that go beyond just white sangria and red sangria. Mix up a batch of some of our favorite winter sangrias, like apple cider sangria and pumpkin pie sangria, and feel free to add any and all of your favorite winter fruits, like cranberries and sliced pears. We’ve even taken our favorite warm weather cocktail, the Aperol Spritz, and made it sweater weather-ready in the form of our apple cider spritz.
