Tips For the Best White Christmas Punch

One sip of this dreamy punch, and you’ll be transported to a winter wonderland! 

It’s perfect for Christmas parties, cozy nights by the fire, or treating the family to a little holiday cheer.

But before you make it, check out these tips:

• Chill everything: Make sure the soda, condensed milk, and ice cream are well-chilled for a perfectly frosty punch.

• Pour slowly. It’s important to add the lemon-lime soda slowly while stirring to prevent excessive foaming.

• Prep the bowl ahead: Scoop the ice cream into the punch bowl ahead of time and store it in the freezer until ready to serve.

• Rim the glass. Rim the glasses with white sanding sugar or coconut flakes for a festive presentation.

• Serving size: Use smaller glasses for individual servings to keep the punch from getting too melty too quickly.

• Don’t make it ahead. While you can prep the ice cream, this drink doesn’t store well. It’s best to make and serve it right away.

Recipe Variations

I love this drink as is, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun to experiment!

Here are a few ideas:

Coconut Twist: For a tropical vibe, swap out the almond extract for coconut extract. You could also try coconut condensed milk!

Citrus Boost: Add a splash of orange juice or lime juice to enhance the citrus flavor.

Boozy Version: Stir in a cup of rum or amaretto for a grown-up holiday cocktail.

Berry Bliss: Mix in some cranberry juice or top with fresh raspberries for a fruity twist.

Spiced Holiday Punch: Add a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon to infuse warm, seasonal flavors.
