This Non Alcoholic Candy Cane Christmas punch is not only delicious but also so quick and easy to make! The combination of eggnog and peppermint works wonderfully and it looks so festive too!
I made this festive candy cane peppermint punch for General Mills and it was so incredibly tasty and easy, I had to share it on Sugar and Charm! It’s only three ingredients, so if you need a last minute holiday treat, this is great! You wouldn’t think eggnog and peppermint ice cream would go together, but they do and make a very Christmassy combo. It’s also a wonderful dessert punch for kids and if you want to make it just for adults you can throw in some peppermint schnapps! To garnish the punch bowl, you can add little candy canes around the rim and your guests can grab one to garnish their drink. Enjoy and have a wonderful Christmas Eve! Read more for the recipe…
