Description
This White Christmas Punch is a smooth, creamy, and slightly tropical holiday drink that’s perfect for both kids and adults. Made with a mix of pineapple juice, coconut, and vanilla flavors, it’s a wintery treat that looks as magical as freshly fallen snow. Serve it as-is for a non-alcoholic version, or add a splash of rum for an adult-friendly twist!
