New Year’s Drinks for Kids are fun, fizzy mocktails made with raspberry ginger ale, fluffy cotton candy, and a cherry garnish. These colorful, nonalcoholic drinks make New Year’s Eve celebrations extra special for kids and adults alike.
I’ve always enjoyed finding little ways to make New Year’s Eve fun for the kids, too. Adding cotton candy to a glass of bubbly soda makes an ordinary drink feel like a celebration, and it’s so easy to put together.

How to Make New Year’s Drinks for Kids
Add the Cotton Candy: Place a small piece of cotton candy into each plastic champagne flute.
Pour and Garnish: Slowly pour the sparkling strawberry drink over the cotton candy. Garnish with a fresh strawberry and serve immediately.

Tips I Found Helpful
- Use chilled sparkling juice: Keeps the drinks cold without watering them down with ice.
- Add cotton candy just before serving: It dissolves quickly when the juice touches it.
- Pour slowly: Sparkling juice can foam when poured over cotton candy.
- Use plastic flutes: A safer choice for kids during celebrations.
- Make fresh: These drinks are best served immediately to keep their bubbles and festive appearance.
