Why not start a new family tradition this Christmas season? Family holiday movie nights!

Pop on How The Grinch Stole Christmas and serve this fun holiday drink up with a plate of Grinch Cookies, Grinch Rice Krispie Treats, and Grinch Caramel Pretzel Bites for a festive spread of Grinch awesomeness. 

Growing up, I was always jealous of the Champagne punch that the adults got to enjoy at holiday parties. I wondered why the adults got to have all the fun fizzy sherbet drinks. I loved sherbert! (And still do!)

So why not make the kids their own special Christmas punch this holiday season?

And with fancy sanding sugar rimmed glasses and a special straw, the kids will be excited to have their own festive lime sherbet punch to enjoy at the holiday party.

In fact, the fun holiday drink might even make the adults jealous!

One thing is for sure— This easy Grinch punch recipe is a festive drink the kids will be asking for year after year.

Whether you want to make a small batch for enjoying with Christmas dinner or a large punch bowl full for your next holiday party, I got you. I will share the measurements for both options in the recipe card below.

Grinch Punch Ingredients

This section includes ingredient notes and substitution options. Get all measurements, ingredients, and instructions in the printable recipe card at the end of this post.

• Hawaiian Punch Green Berry Rush— The kiwi strawberry flavored juice drink has a bright green color that is perfect for making grinch punch. You should be able to pick up a jog at Walmart or your local grocery store. If you are having a hard time finding it you can substitute it with lemon-lime kool aid.
• Sprite— Feel free to use ginger ale, 7up or your favorite lemon-lime soda instead.
• Lime Sherbet— While lime is perfect for keeping with the green color scheme, rainbow punch would work as well.
• Green food coloring— optional, for added color
• Red sanding sugar & corn syrup— for the red sugar rim. Water can be used in place of the corn syrup in a pinch.

I hope your little ones enjoy this fun green Grinch drink and that you and your family have a very Merry Christmas!

Recipe Tips

• Try adding pineapple juice to the punch for a touch of tropical flavor. Or orange juice for a fun twist.

• Use a spring-loaded ice cream scooper for perfect sherbet scoops.
