Calling all Christmas drinks!

I'm looking for Christmas drink recipes for Christmas Eve dinner next Sunday.

Specifics: cold, non-egg, non-alcoholic, maybe fizzy, something festive.

Anyone have any favorites they'd like to share?

Here's one I found on the internet that I'm thinking about trying if I don't get any tried and true recipe responses. Maybe you could try it and tell me.


7-Up Christmas Bowl

Ingredients:
20 ounces raspberries, frozen, in syrup, partially thawed
12 ounces lemonade, frozen concentrate, thawed
46 ounces pineapple juice
64 ounces 7-Up, chilled

Directions:Place raspberries and lemonade in blender, process till smooth. Strain into punch bowl. Discard seeds. Stir in pineapple juice. Just before serving, add 7-Up.

Our favorite festive drink is a mixture of cranberry juice and Fresca. We use equal parts juice and Fresca, and for an extra treat you can add gobs of raspberry sherbet to the punch bowl.

Your recipe sounds so good!!

I freeze ginger ale or sprite in large rings (in a bundt pan) and then I float the "ring" in white grape juice... white grape/peach juice is good too.

The nice thing is that the drink doesn't get watered down as the ice melts because the ice is pop.
