I'm planning to serve hot mulled cider or spiced cranberry juice from the crock pot for a starter on Thanksgiving Day. Another one I like is a mix of Cheerwine soda and pineapple juice, served cold. You may be able to find Cheerwine in Kentucky.

This doesn't have sherbet but it's a hit.
LEETE'S ISLAND GARDEN CLUB PUNCH (1 gallon)
2 cups strong tea
4 cups water, divided
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cinnamon stick
12 whole cloves
2 cups cranberry juice
6 oz can frozen orange juice concentrate
6 oz can frozen grapefruit juice concentrate
6 oz can frozen lime juice concentrate
6 oz can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 can ( 6 oz size) frozen pineapple juice concentrate or to taste
1 qt ginger ale, optional
Mint leaves, optional
Vodka or rum, optional
Pour the freshly brewed tea into a large bowl or stainless steel pot. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of the water w/the sugar, cinnamon stick & cloves & simmer, covered for at least 20 minutes. Strain, cool & add to the tea. Pour in the cranberry juice, orange juice concentrate, grapefruit juice concentrate, lime juice concentrate, lemonade concentrate, pineapple juice concentrate & remaining 3 cups water, stirring until the frozen juices have melted.
When you're ready to serve the punch, pour it over ice in a large punch bowl & add the ginger ale, if using. Float some mint leaves on top (if using,) or make a frozen ice mold. Add vodka or rum to taste, if using.~~Guilford, CT Birthday Cookbook

My mom used to make sherbert punch. She put half gallon of sherbert in the punch bowl then poured a two liter of 7up over it and added marachino cherries. The kids went crazy for it.
