Start by pouring 2 cups of cranberry juice into a small pitcher.

Add 1 cup of orange juice to the pitcher.

Pour about half of a 2-liter bottle of ginger ale into the mixture.

Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients.

Add fresh cranberries into the punch.

Slice oranges thinly and add them to the punch, or you can add them whole for decoration.

If desired, use frozen cranberries instead of fresh to keep the punch cold.

For an adult version, you can replace ginger ale with champagne, mixing it in a 50/50 ratio with the punch.

If desired, freeze cranberry juice or orange juice in ice cube trays and add them to the punch for chilling.
