Hey friends! I’m Liz and I blog over at Liz on Call. I’m happy to be here today on Around My Family Table to be sharing one of the things you will find at my family table, an easy party punch recipe. Most of my easy party punch recipes are served cold out of a big drink dispenser or individual cups. This is the first time however, that I’ve made a slow cooker party punch, and I’m happy to say it was a success.
Not only was it a success, it looks pretty and makes your house smell good too. This slow cooker holiday punch just takes a few simple ingredients, added to your slow cooker a few hours before your party, and when the guests arrive, they can enjoy this warm holiday punch.
Slow Cooker Party Punch Recipe:
Slow Cooker Party Punch
This festive party punch has the flavors of fall! Made with fresh apple cider, cranberries and warm spices.
Ingredients
- 1 (64 oz) jug apple cider
- 1/3-1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 medium orange
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 2 tsp. whole cloves
- 1/3 cup fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a slow cooker and cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2.
- Once warmed, remove oranges, cranberries and cinnamon sticks with slotted spoon. Then place a small strainer over a heat safe bowl, and pour the party punch into the heat safe bowl through the strainer to remove, cloves and any pulp from the oranges.
- Serve out of desired bowl, dispenser or slow cooker. Makes 8 servings.

I love serving punch with beautiful garnishes, sometimes edible, sometimes not. It’s pretty served with a cinnamon stick and slice of orange, but for my kids, I topped it with some whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel. I don’t really know what my son loved more, the punch, or the toppings!
This easy crock pot punch recipe can be easily doubled and still fit into one slow cooker. Once it’s strained, you can add it back to your slow cooker and serve it straight out of there to keep it warm. Cinnamon, apples, oranges and cranberries are one of my favorite flavor combinations during the holidays. And bringing them all together in a slow cooker holiday punch was a great decision.
I think a great tasting and beautiful party punch can add so much to any gathering. Most people know that if they come to a Liz on Call party, they are going to have one delicious party punch! We have easy party punch recipes for any occasion and/or holiday. In fact, this easy holiday party punch is going to be on repeat at our house this season.

Perfect drink for the winter. Looks delicious. Glad this is kid friendly too.
This is perfect all winter long/ Awesome after a hike in the snow
I must say that I’ve never made hot drinks in my slow cooker. I have to change this asap! Love the recipe!
This punch looks so flavorful,perfect for the Holidays!
I love all the warm spices that this recipe uses. I always make a big pot of punch for the holidays and I can’t wait to try this one tomorrow!
I love mulled ciders – so I bet I would love this!
Love this idea! We’ve had so many Christmas parties to attend, so this would be perfect. Sounds delicious!
I can see how I could go crazy with not just one cup but the whole bowl full. =D This would be great with organic oranges. Clove and orange go hand in hand with a warm alcoholic drink. So I absolutely get why this would be a perfect crowd pleaser. 🙂
I love all the flavours you’ve picked so this sounds sublime. I think some whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel would definitely go down a treat with my kids too 🙂
The kitchen must smell amazing while this is simmering in the slow cooker! What a cozy and festive punch to serve guests during the winter holidays. I’d love a mug of this right now!
