Add cranberry juice, pineapple juice, Red Hots, and cinnamon sticks to Slow Cooker or Instant Pot. Stir. Cover and cook on low for 2-4 hours until punch is heated through and Red Hots have melted.
Remove cinnamon sticks and serve. May add orange slices or sugared cranberries as a garnish. You may also add a bit of white rum to the mixture for a grown up version.

Notes for Slow Cooker (Instant Pot) Hot Holiday Punch
Cook on the high setting if using an Instant Pot. For all other slow cookers, use the low setting.
If adding rum to the entire recipe, add about ¼ cup. If using run in individual mugs, about 1 shot of rum should do.
