This holiday punch always takes me back to when I was a kid and had piano recitals. My piano teacher served this every year. It’s been many years since those days but I still go right back to that place every time I taste it.
Ahh… piano recitals. Tummy full of butterflies, sweaty/clammy hands, tired from all the last-minute practicing. But I always looked forward to the Christmas cookies and this holiday punch!
We love using this drink dispenser for many party beverages. It makes serving drinks a breeze and cleans up nicely! (“affiliate link*)
Funny how we associate different smells/tastes with events in our lives.
Is there a certain food that takes you back to another time?

If you are looking for a super sweet, traditional punch, this isn’t for you. Don’t get me wrong, it is sweet but not overwhelming. The cranberry juice gives it a nice tart kick and the spices add a delightful warm, festive flavor!
I hope you and your guests enjoy this delicious festive holiday punch!
Thank you for stopping by the homestead!
Until next time,
