Personally Champagne does it EVERY time, what can I say? I have expensive tastes! ;D

I am a convert to snowballs since last year too.

Mountain Dew..... what? It's green.  ;D

Egg nog, the real stuff.

Yes yes yes.  With brandy. ;D

Right.

I reach new levels of everyday inebriation around Christmas. Nog is cheap and tasty!

I've always hated egg nog...I don't know..something about the taste of it makes me sick. I guess I will have to be boring and say hot cocoa...either that or coffee with Kahlua or Irish creme.

Love the "spiked" hot cocoa tooo, especially with whipped cream on top, and maybe some carmle (with irish cream)!  :D

I also like champagne punch with sherbet, I know it a recipe from recipe zaar - Yummy :) :) :)

You just take a quart or so of sherbet, put it in a punch bowl, and then pour champagne over it.

2kidsami can correct me on that if I'm wrong, but I think it is basically the same thing as the punch I had at my baby shower, except we used lemon lime pop.

Well here is the recipe -I could not find it on recipezaar!  Luckily I have it jotted down!


Champagne Punch

3/4 C. wyler's presweetened lemonade mix (the dry powder stuff - presweetened)
2 (46oz) cans unsweetened pineapple juice, chilled
2 (750ml each) champagne, chilled
1 (750 ml) dry white wine, chilled
1 qt. sherbet (lime, orange, raspberry, or whatever you like)

In advance freeze sherbet in a ring mold or at the last minute drop into punch in balls.

Mix lemonade powder with pineapple juice add champagne and wine.

sit back, relax, and enjoy ;D

My husbands aunt always makes it for our Christmas dinner and I love it, and we have a great time...  I have made it for several other occasions, but I still think of it as a Christmas drink :)

I'll have to give it a whirl sometime! :)

Hot, spiced cider.  Great when driving around looking at Christmas lights.

oh, I love cider in the fall. There's nothing like stopping at a fruit market and picking up some great apple cider. Yummy!

oooh that sounds wonderful, maybe I could smell and taste that :)

This California girl usually needs a bottle of whisky to fortify herself against the cold Chicago winters.

Except I usually make the bottle last a week or so... :D

I like the peppermint coffee that the various coffee houses come out with during the holidays.

And Champagne of course!  :D

I like the Candy Cane cappucino that I got last. Would love to get some again.

I've never ever had eggnog.  :( It looks tasty though.

For Christmas it's always Baileys, Advocaat or kahlua with milk. Nice n creamy! I suppose advocaat is a little like eggnog.

hot chocolate too

Eggnog, especially the kind that contains alcohol.

Since I stopped drinking alcohol 8 years ago I will have to say nothing, however, 
before I stopped, a Christmas Eve couldn't pass without a bottle of Grolsch beer
early in the evening followed by a snifter full of Asbach Uralt,  (A German Brandy sort of like Cognac.)

Grolsch is the one of the few beers that I just can not drink 8-P 8-P 8-P

It doesn't have to be alcohol, I don't think. :)

I guess not but now I don't have a favorite drink because I drink the same thing every day,
regardless of the day. 1 cup of coffee in the morning, 1 bottle of Pepsi for lunch and the
rest of the day is plain old water.

P.S., If I'm not working I'll skip the Pepsi.  ;)

Cider after the Christmas Lunch

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Anything that's icey cold  :P

Andria and I have the same taste in holiday beverages, although I prefer my nog without alcohol and in larger quantities than she drinks.

That'll teach you to live in the Southern Hemisphere, won't it? ;)

Black coffee anyone for the morning after?

Black coffee is a must every morning, just to figure out how to move. ;)

Black coffee is easier to make than espresso coffee.

Mulled wine is good when it's cold too.

Hot Chocolate with lots of little marshmallows.  (I almost typed mushrooms...  ;D )

Me thinks you and Andria should spend Christmas together. :)

OOOOOh I have a recipe for a Cranberry Bog mulled wine, yummy - but you need a bottle of Cranberry wine in order to make it, the winery in Northern Illinois (Galena) makes it.....  Good stuff :)

Christmas morning we make a pot of coffee and then add Bailey's Irish Cream. I like Champange on New Year's eve/Day.

Yes it is.  :)

That was our plan all along, although I will enforce a strict "No Alcohol" rule.

Mulled wine with some harder stuff too.....

"Danish Christmas glogg is a hot, mulled wine beverage, usually made with red wine, port wine and some strong spirits like Danish schnapps or vodka...

...and spiced with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, orange peels, raisins and almonds.

It's a typical Danish beverage, traditionally served at Christmas parties during the Advent season. "


Do not hear many people having it out anymore though?

thx. Sounds like something I would have loved when I was drinking.
