Christmas Punch

We wanted to have a specialty drink for Christmas dinner, I had everything on hand to make this punch so that was the winning idea. It was a little sweet for me, and I don't love champagne cocktails, but we drank all of one batch and 1/2 of another so I can't knock it because it wasn't my favorite thing. Obviously other people liked it! I don't know why it's "Christmas Punch" other than the fresh cranberries I guess, if you can't find them it won't change the flavor to leave them out. Once again I forgot to take a picture, check out the original post for photos and more details (found here).
