Prepare the Punch: Begin by pouring the cranberry juice cocktail into a large punch bowl.

Add Fruits: Slice the red apples and add them into the punch bowl along with the cranberries. These vibrant fruits not only add a pop of color but also infuse the punch with their sweet and tart flavors.

Add Soda: About fifteen minutes before serving, gently pour in the lemon-lime soda. This effervescent addition gives the punch a refreshing fizz that balances the sweetness of the fruits.

Ice it Up: Toss in the ice cubes to chill the punch and keep it pleasantly cold throughout your holiday gathering. The ice also helps to dilute the punch slightly, ensuring it’s perfectly balanced.
