Sparkling holiday punch is a festive beverage that can be prepared for any holiday event.  This effervescent drink can be made for strictly adults (cue the wine) or be sans alcohol for everyone to enjoy.  For added sweetness, you can coat the cranberries in sugar before freezing.  You can also use other fruits like frozen strawberries or raspberries.
