Combine Ingredients: Add the cranberry juice, ginger ale, orange juice, lime zest, cinnamon sticks, star anise, thyme sprigs, and fresh cranberries into a large punch bowl or pitcher.

Garnish and Serve: Use additional lime zest, cranberries, or thyme as garnish if desired. Serve cold for the best flavor and experience.

Notes

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and aroma.
If you prefer a sweeter punch, add a splash of simple syrup to taste.
Chill all ingredients beforehand to keep the punch cold without diluting it with too much ice.
No punch bowl needed – a large bowl or pitcher works just as well, just be sure to add plenty of ice.
For an impressive presentation, serve with a festive ice ring made from frozen cranberry juice or fruit.
