Why do we love easy champagne punch recipes for New Year’s Eve? Well, not only is champagne punch tasty, but it’s a brilliant way to avoid mixing individual cocktails all night so you can spend more time with your guests. It’s festive, it’s fun, and the mixers actually help you save since you don’t need to buy cases of champagne alone.

So here’s to welcoming the new year with a glorious toast of champagne punch! And maybe some new champagne glasses? Couldn’t hurt.

This Watermelon Mint Champagne Punch at Whitney Bond is calling my name! While the combo of watermelon and mint seems to harken back to warmer months, she offers up the recipe using ready-made watermelon juice.
