How to Make Warm Christmas Punch

  1. In a large crockpot, combine 4 cups cranberry juice, 2 cups orange juice, 1 cup apple cider, 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, 10 whole cloves, 2 cinnamon sticks, and 5-10 red hots (or to taste).
  2. Stir well to ensure sugar dissolves.
  3. Cook on low for 2-4 hours, or until heated through and flavors have melded. Do not let it boil.
  4. Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves before serving. (You can use these as stirrers if desired, then discard).
  5. Garnish with orange slices, cranberries, and cinnamon sticks before serving. Optional: Add a splash of orange liqueur for an adult version.
  6. Serve warm in mugs or heat-resistant glasses.
