20 minNothing says “welcome to the party” quite like walking into a house that smells like warm spices and simmering fruit juice.
This percolator punch is the ultimate holiday crowd-pleaser. Cranberry juice cocktail and pineapple juice mingle with brown sugar, whole cloves, and broken cinnamon sticks, all brewed together in a party-size coffee pot.
The percolator does double duty here: it heats the punch, infuses the spices through the basket, and keeps everything piping hot for hours.
Just plug it in, let it perk, and watch your guests gravitate toward the pot like moths to a flame.
Kitchen Tips
- Use a 24 to 30 cup percolator for this batch size. A standard home coffee maker is too small.
- Break the cinnamon sticks into pieces so they fit in the basket and release more flavor as the punch perks.
- Keep it plugged in on the “warm” setting throughout your party so guests can serve themselves hot cups all evening long.

Assemble, plug in, and perk. Serve piping hot.
