Tennessee’s holiday season is about to get a whole lot sweeter. Cheerwine, the iconic cherry soda of the South, is serving its limited Cheerwine Holiday Punch in the Volunteer State, bringing a beloved Southern seasonal favorite to Knoxville just in time for the year’s most festive stretch.
A merry mix of Cheerwine’s signature cherry flavor, tangy pineapple juice and bright, bubbly ginger ale, Cheerwine Holiday Punch is made for the moments that bring people together. From trimming the tree to toasting the season, this festive blend is ready to earn a place in Tennessee holiday traditions.
To celebrate its full Knoxville debut, Cheerwine has teamed up with local mixologist Erin Fear of Sunspot, who has created two original seasonal cocktails inspired by Cheerwine Holiday Punch—the Snowball Mule and The Cup of CHEERmeister.
Sunspot will feature its Cheerwine creations during the holiday season, while supplies last. Guests are encouraged to call ahead to confirm availability.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Cheerwine Holiday Punch to Knoxville and give even more people a chance to enjoy this Southern holiday tradition,” says Joy Ritchie Harper, Vice President of Marketing for Cheerwine and a fifth-generation member of the founding family. “Partnering with Sunspot is a fun way to showcase its versatility and inspire people to get creative with their holiday entertaining.”
