Notes

  • You can substitute peppermint ice cream with vanilla ice cream and add a few drops of peppermint extract to taste.
  • For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy ice cream and plant-based milk such as almond or oat milk.
  • The white chocolate chips can be omitted for a lighter version of the punch.
  • Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less crushed candy canes depending on your preference.
  • For extra flair, add some festive holiday decorations like mini candy canes on the rim of the glasses.
  • If you prefer a stronger mint flavor, increase the amount of peppermint extract.
  • This punch can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to serve. Just add the soda right before serving to maintain the fizz.
  • For an adult version, you can add a splash of peppermint schnapps or vodka.
