Whether you’re hosting a party, enjoying a cozy night in with your loved ones, or just looking for a way to add some cheer to your holiday festivities, this sangria is the perfect solution. It’s made using wintertime staples like cranberries, oranges, apples, persimmons, plus a few other ingredients, and is sure to make a delightful and delicious impact on any gathering.

With this recipe, you’ll get all the flavor and festive vibes of a classic sangria, without any of the worry of excessive alcohol consumption. This holiday season, make this family-friendly sangria and get ready for a memorable gathering.

Technically since this recipe doesn't use wine it probably shouldn't be called a Sangria. Fruit punch is probably more accurate. But, Sangria just sounds more festive.

I swapped out the alcohol with a combination of fruit tea and sparkling cranberry or grape juice. You could also opt for an alcohol free wine instead.

With the addition of persimmons, pears and fresh cranberries this is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's or other fall or winter holiday party.

What type of tea to use for Holiday Sangria?

Using tea to replace some of the wine adds extra fruitiness as well as spice.

I used Twinings Holiday Berry , but Bigelow Constant Comment, Celestial Seasonings' Sugar Plum Spice or use your favorite orange or berry tea.

Make an adult only version

For a grown up version just switch the fruit juice and brewed tea for a bottle of red wine. Traditional Spanish Sangria would be made with Grenache, but Pinot Noir, Merlot, or other dry red wine will be delicious.
