The most popular way to have a holly, jolly holiday season? Christmas cocktails, obviously. Nothing says “’Tis the season” like cozying up with a warm mug of spiked hot chocolate while listening to holiday love songs or sneaking a Christmas shot with your siblings after a little too much parent time.
It’s why entire movies about office holiday parties and themed pop-up bars have became so popular around this time of year. But going out among the crowds isn’t for everyone, especially these days—which is why it’s all the more necessary to have Christmas drink recipes on hand. From twists on the classic eggnog to a Christmas martini that’ll have you feeling some kind of way, these holiday cocktails will get you through to the new year.
Enjoy, drink responsibly, pair with your favorite Christmas movies on Netflix, and have a happy, happy time with these Christmas cocktails. (And if you don’t see any recipes you like, try one of these winter cocktails instead.)
