STORAGE & FREEZING : White Christmas Punch

White Christmas Punch is best enjoyed fresh. However, if you have leftover punch, it can be stored in the refrigerator. Place it in a covered container to keep it fresh. When stored this way, it is good for up to 2 days. However, be aware that the carbonation from the soda may go flat over time.

Freezing White Christmas Punch is not recommended, as the texture and taste may change when thawed. The creamy coconut milk can separate, and the flavors may not taste as good after freezing.
