Ingredient Breakdown
- Blue Hawaiian Punch
- Sprite
- Pineapple Juice
- Vanilla Ice Cream
Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Chill the Ingredients
To kick things off, let’s get your ingredients nice and chill. Pop the blue Hawaiian Punch and pineapple juice in the fridge for a little while, this will help everything come together in a refreshing way! Seriously, no one wants a lukewarm punch. While that’s happening, scoop some of that dreamy vanilla ice cream into your glasses (about 1-2 scoops per glass) so they can also get a tiny chill.
Step 2: Combine the Liquids
Now that your ingredients are nice and cool, grab a large pitcher and pour in the chilled blue Hawaiian Punch and pineapple juice. Then, add that bubbly Sprite. Give it a gentle stir, just enough to mix without losing all that fizz! You’re looking for this beautiful frothy blend to dance together in your glass.
Step 3: Add the Snowballs
It’s time for the moment of magic, adding those ice cream “snowballs” into the punch! You can either do this by pouring the punch over the scoops in the glass or if you want a more festive presentation, use a ladle to scoop the punch over the icy clouds of ice cream. Honestly, isn’t it so satisfying to watch the ice cream slowly melt into that vibrant blue?
Step 4: Serve with Style
To finish things off, grab some fancy straws or festive paper umbrellas for a fun twist! If you’re feeling extra, garnish with a sprinkle of edible glitter or a few fresh fruit slices on the rim. I swear the kids’ eyes will light up brighter than the Christmas lights when they see this beautiful drink!

Serving & Storage Tips
How to Serve This Frozen Snowball Punch
This drink is best served immediately, after you’ve combined the ingredients, but I get it; sometimes it’s nice to have everything prepared! Just hold off on mixing in the ice cream until you’re ready to serve to keep everything from getting too soupy.
Storage
This punch is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftovers, keep them in a sealed container in the fridge for no more than 24 hours. Just remember, it may separate a bit, so give it a good stir before enjoying!
Reheating Instructions
There’s no reheating here, this is strictly a chilled drink! But if you’re thinking ahead: you can prepare your fruit juices in advance and keep them in the fridge until it’s punch time.
Freezer-Friendly
Can you freeze it? Not really! Once the ice cream melts, it changes the whole texture and flavor experience. Just best to enjoy fresh!
Now, go out there, grab your ingredients, and treat yourself to this Frozen Snowball Punch. You’ll be happy you did, and so will your family!
