Wow!!! That’s a lot of liquid in that recipe! What do you put it in to freeze? And how long does it take to freeze it?

Great question Carla Anne. I freeze the punch in gallon milk jugs. I thaw as much as I need for each event. You can refreeze what you do not use. That way you have punch throughout the holiday season.
The punch freezes overnight then I take it out the morning I plan to entertain. It will take a while to thaw, but you can always put it in the microwave for a rush job.
