Instructions

Prepare the cinnamon simple syrup: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 8 oz water, and 4 cinnamon sticks. Heat gently over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the cinnamon flavor, then remove from heat and let cool.
Mix the punch: In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine 24 oz cranberry juice, 20 oz orange juice, 12 oz pineapple juice, 12 oz Sprite, 2 tablespoons grenadine, and 12 oz of the prepared cinnamon simple syrup. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Chill the punch: Place the punch in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour or until cold to enhance the flavors and refreshment.
Garnish and serve: Before serving, garnish the punch with fresh cranberries, orange slices, whipped cream, and sprinkles if desired. Serve chilled in glasses to enjoy the festive flavors.

Notes

The homemade cinnamon simple syrup can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For an adult version, consider adding a splash of spiced rum or whiskey.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of grenadine or sugar in the syrup according to taste.
Use fresh, high-quality juices for the best flavor.
