Orange Juice – Any 100% orange juice works. For best flavor, choose a no-sugar-added juice from the grocery store.
Carrot Juice – Sneak in veggies! Carrot juice gives this punch a vibrant orange color.
Ginger Ale – Adds fizz and sweetness. You can also use lemon-lime soda (like Sprite) for a different flavor.
Gummy Worm Garnish – Classic spooky touch! Organic gummy worms work too.
Gummy Frogs – Slimy, spooky, and kids love them.
(Optional) Candy eyeballs, gummy body parts, or even a few scoops of orange sherbet for a sherbet punch version.
How to Make Kids Halloween Punch
- Pour orange juice and carrot juice into a large pitcher or Halloween punch bowl.
- Add the ginger ale (or lemon-lime soda) right before serving to keep the fizz.
- Stir gently to combine.
- Garnish with gummy worms, frogs, or candy eyeballs.
Expert Tip: For extra fun, add a few scoops of rainbow sherbet or lime sherbet to the punch bowl. It creates spooky bubbles and froth that kids will love.
Recipe Tips & Variations
Apple Cider: Swap in apple cider for a fall harvest flavor.
Cranberry Juice: For a spooky red punch, use cranberry juice or cherry juice.
Orange Soda: For a sweeter flavor, replace ginger ale with orange soda.
Sherbet Punch: Add scoops of orange sherbet, lime sorbet, or rainbow sherbet for a creamy, spooky punch.
Storage
Keep leftover punch in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add fresh fizz (ginger ale, lemon-lime soda, or Sprite) when serving again since the bubbles will go flat.
Fun Serving Ideas
- Use paper party cups, glass beakers, or festive pumpkin glasses for a Halloween theme.
- Float plastic spiders or plastic eyeballs on top for a spooky effect (be mindful of choking hazards for younger kids).
- Add a little dry ice to the punch bowl for a foggy Hocus Pocus brew effect.
- For a charming touch, use a cork lid, drill a hole, and push a Halloween straw through for serving.
- Garnish the Halloween punch for kids with some of these gummy candies! Gummy Worms, Organic Gummy Worms, Gummy Frogs.

I’m planning on making this punch for my granddaughter, I don’t have a punch bowl will this work if I carved out a pumpkin?? And use the hollow pumpkin?
I think that could change the flavor a little and I’m not sure how sturdy it would be, but you can try it!
I love this idea for a kid-friendly punch! Yum!
