A favorite holiday movie at my house is “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” by Dr. Seuss. We love watching all forms of the Grinch story, old and new. I’m sharing a fun holiday beverage The Heart-Filled Grinch Punch, a Christmas Mocktail to go along with this classic story. This kiddie cocktail recipe is non-alcoholic so everyone can enjoy it: kids, adults, and those who desire a tasty alcohol-free drink. This drink is delicious and fun to drink! You will love it this holiday season:)

This yummy Christmas beverage is kid-approved and the major bonus, it’s super easy and quick to make! It is perfect for a holiday movie night activity when the kids are off of school. I make this Grinch Punch in my small blender meant for one serving size and just repeat the quick recipe for each person. I use the blender below. It works well and we’ve used it for several years.
My whole family fell in love with this holiday drink, I hope yours does too! It’s so good!!

Supplies to Make this Holiday Drink Recipe

I use regular BBQ/kabob wooden skewers and break them in half for the strawberry garnish. The strawberry garnish symbolizes the larger heart of the transformed Christmas-loving Grinch.
More festive garnishes ideas include adding a green grape, lime wedge, fresh cranberries, or raspberries to the stick. An apple slice is another idea for a garnish for this beverage recipe. For a treat, add a marshmallow to the skewer to symbolize the snow.

I love to serve this Grinch Punch in stemless wine glasses so the fun colors of the drink are visible.

Holiday Classic Family Movie Night
I adore watching the Grinch every Christmas season with my kids. It’s so fun to revisit this classic story and watch the beloved Grinch character as he transforms from a grump to a joyful and spirit-filled Christmas loving guy. It never gets old to pop this show into our DVD player…love watching this holiday classic! I love watching him as he becomes heart-filled and his heart grows giant inside his chest.
Make the family fun event even more fun by serving your family a glass of Grinch Punch:)

Ingredients to Make Grinch Punch
There are only 4 ingredients needed to make this easy-to-make yummy Grinch Punch recipe:
- fresh strawberries (divided, puree 2-3 for 2 Tbsp. strawberry puree and 1 for the garnish)
- 1/3 c. apple cider
- 1 cup lime sherbert
- 1 Tbsp. strawberry pancake syrup
And that is all that is needed! Super simple, super easy, super delicious!
How-to Directions:
Puree 2-3 strawberries in a food processor (2-3 depending on the size) to get 2 Tbsp. pureed strawberries. Set aside.
Add 1 c. lime sherbert to the blender. Add 1/3 c. apple cider. Lastly, add the 1 Tbsp. strawberry pancake syrup to the blender. Blend.
Pour into a glass. Pour the strawberry puree onto the top of the beverage.
