Ingredients You’ll Need

Base Liquids
- 1 bottle (2 liters) lemon-lime soda, chilled
- 1 bottle (64 ounces) white cranberry juice, chilled
- 1 bottle (750 ml) sparkling white grape juice, chilled
Additions
- 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
Garnishes
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- Fresh cranberries (optional)
- Mint leaves (optional)

How to Make Christmas Frost Fairy Punch

Step 1: Combine the Sparkling Base

Start by grabbing your biggest, prettiest punch bowl—this is a drink meant to dazzle! Pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda, white cranberry juice, and sparkling white grape juice. Gently stir everything together so the bubbles stay lively and the flavors blend beautifully.

Step 2: Add the Ice Cream Snowbanks

Scoop generous mounds of vanilla ice cream and float them right on top of the punch. As they slowly melt, they’ll create magical swirls and a creamy, frosted layer that looks just like freshly fallen snow.

Step 3: Sprinkle with Coconut “Snow”

Now for the fairy dust! Scatter the shredded sweetened coconut all over the floating ice cream. It settles on top like a blanket of snow, adding both texture and a delightful snowy look that makes this punch feel extra special.

Step 4: Add Garnishes and Serve

If you want to take things over the top, toss in a handful of fresh cranberries and a few mint leaves. Ladle the punch into festive glasses and serve immediately so everyone gets a bit of frosty ice cream in their cup.

How to Serve Christmas Frost Fairy Punch

Garnishes

Garnishing is where you really let the Christmas Frost Fairy Punch shine! A sprinkle of coconut is a must, but I love tossing in fresh cranberries for a pop of ruby-red color and a few mint leaves for that fresh, wintry aroma. For an extra festive touch, try rimming your glasses with sugar or coconut flakes—just dip the rim in a bit of juice, then dip into the sugar or coconut for a sparkling, snowy finish.

Side Dishes

Pair this delightful punch with sweet and savory holiday bites—think sugar cookies, spiced nuts, or a platter of sharp cheeses and crackers. The creamy, fruity flavors of the Christmas Frost Fairy Punch play beautifully with rich desserts and salty snacks alike, making it the perfect centerpiece for your holiday table.

Creative Ways to Present

Presentation is everything! Serve your punch in a classic glass bowl or a big, clear pitcher so guests can admire the floating “snow” and pretty garnishes. For an extra magical effect, use clear glass mugs or iridescent cups. If you’re feeling playful, freeze edible flowers or mint leaves in ice cubes and add those to each glass for a fairy-tale touch.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers (though I doubt you will!), simply transfer any remaining punch to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. The ice cream will melt into the punch, making it a bit creamier but still delicious for up to 24 hours.

Freezing

While the punch itself isn’t ideal for freezing due to the fizzy soda and creamy ice cream, you can freeze the leftover juice base separately before adding the soda and ice cream. Just thaw and finish assembling when you’re ready to serve again.

Reheating

Christmas Frost Fairy Punch is best served cold and frosty, so there’s no need to reheat. If it’s been in the fridge, just give it a gentle stir and add a few fresh scoops of ice cream and garnishes to revive that snowy, festive look.

FAQs

Can I make Christmas Frost Fairy Punch ahead of time?

Absolutely! Mix the juices together and refrigerate up to a day ahead. Wait to add the soda and ice cream until right before serving so you don’t lose any of that delightful fizz or creamy froth.

Is there a dairy-free version of this punch?

Yes! Simply use your favorite non-dairy vanilla ice cream as a substitute. All the other ingredients are naturally dairy-free, so everyone can enjoy the frosty fun.

Can I spike this punch for adults?

Definitely! For a grown-up twist on Christmas Frost Fairy Punch, add a splash of coconut rum or vodka when mixing the juices. Start with a cup and adjust to your taste.

What can I use instead of white cranberry juice?

If you can’t find white cranberry juice, try white grape juice or even apple juice for a similar light color and gentle sweetness. Just keep the flavors balanced and not too overpowering.

How do I keep the ice cream from melting too quickly?

Make sure all your juices and soda are thoroughly chilled before assembling. Add the ice cream just before serving, and if you’re hosting a big group, consider serving in smaller batches to keep everything frosty.

Final Thoughts

You’re just a few simple steps away from creating a sparkling centerpiece that will make your holiday party feel extra magical. Gather your loved ones, ladle out the Christmas Frost Fairy Punch, and watch the smiles appear—it’s a festive tradition you’ll want to repeat year after year!
