Directions:
1. Prepare the Base:
In a large punch bowl, combine the softened peppermint ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Add the Fizz:
Gently pour in the chilled lemon-lime soda and stir lightly to combine. For a stronger peppermint flavor, add the optional peppermint extract.
3. Garnish the Punch:
Top the punch with dollops of whipped cream, a generous sprinkle of crushed candy canes, and red and white sprinkles. Place whole candy canes or peppermint sticks along the edge of the bowl for decoration.
4. Serve:
Ladle the punch into glasses or festive mugs. Add a candy cane to each glass for a fun, edible stirrer.
