So if you're planning a party, consider one of these best punch bowls.

Our Top Picks

Just ask Ree Drummond: punch bowls are a host's best friend. You can make a giant batch ahead of time, allow the guests to serve themselves, and have an instant centerpiece and conversation starter. "You don't want to be fixing drinks all night," Ree says. "Pick one cocktail, like a festive sangria, mix up a big batch and let guests help themselves." Plus, punch bowls are multitaskers in the making. They can be used as serving bowls for salads and snacks, large ice buckets to chill champagne, and even decorative bowls that just look pretty on the table.

On this list, you will find everything from classic crystal to shiny steel and even a sturdy plastic set that you won't stress about cracking. You can buy a set with a ladle and cups included or go with a classic bowl and buy cups in bulk separately. There's even a set that is six serving vessels in one! So go ahead, make a batch of your favorite punch and get ready to serve in style.

If you like the idea of stainless steel to keep your punch cold, but want a clear bowl to see what's inside, this three-gallon option gives you the best of both worlds. It has a removable gel unit for the base that you can freeze in advance to keep the punch extra cold, but it won't leave any water rings on your table. Cheers to that!

This two-gallon bowl is designed to mimic a crystal pattern, but you don't have to worry about lifting something so heavy or possibly breaking something valuable. It comes with a serving ladle too, so all you need to do is add the cups.
