3 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise
4 cups apple juice (natural apple juice is best)
2 cups white wine (in place of white wine, add the same amount of white grape juice or white cranberry juice to make it alcohol free)
2 cups ginger ale (or ginger beer, for a spicy kick)
sliced apples, sliced ginger, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and whole cranberries for garnish (optional)

If desired, 24 hours before serving, add the cinnamon sticks and the star anise to the apple juice and store in the fridge.
Before serving, combine the juice, wine, and ginger ale in a large pitcher and add sliced apples, sliced ginger, and whole fresh cranberries, along with a few extra star anise and cinnamon sticks.
Stir well to combine and let sit in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
Add ice, if desired.

In place of the wine, add either white grape juice or white cranberry juice to make this Holiday Apple Cider Sangria without Alcohol.
