Christmas Drink Recipes

This recipe is great to have with or after Christmas dinner. It's one of our Christmas traditions.

This is my holiday version of a white Russian. It is smooth, almost chocolaty, and not overpowering.

This is a traditional spiced holiday drink with an added twist. Enjoy this wonderful wassail for a cold winter day or to serve at Christmas parties.

Gluehwein is a German/Austrian winter-holiday drink that most tourists know as an after-ski drink. After you come in out of the snow, it is supposed to make you glow with warmth again. Watch it: Since you drink this wine warm, the alcohol goes to your head extra quick! Drink when you really have come in, and do not have to go out again! This is the one my father used to make for New Year's Eve.

Great tasting apple pie in a jar but it does pack quite a kick if your not careful. The longer it sits in the fridge the better it seems to get. Makes a great gift.

A traditional brunch beverage. Enjoy this light delight on Mother's Day, Christmas, or any special occasion.

This is without a doubt the best punch I've ever had! Makes enough for 2 punch bowls. This is our Christmas Eve punch tradition, and there is never a drop left!

Irish whiskey mixed with cream and sugar with hints of coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and almond. Will keep for 2 months if refrigerated.

This is a mouthwatering vodka shot that tastes just like Mom's apple pie. Put entire shot in your mouth and swish back and forth a few times before swallowing.

My Grandmother found this recipe and makes it every year at Christmas. It is a family favorite, and kids love it.

I wanted to use up some full-size chocolate bars leftover from Halloween and decided to make hot chocolate out of one. The result was fabulous!

I love this tangy beverage on a cold winter's morning when I want something tasty and hot, but don't want coffee! It makes a great gift from your kitchen, too! If calories are your concern, use an artificially sweetened orange drink mix, eliminate the sugar and sweeten to taste with sugar substitute.

Instant Chai tea mix. You can spice it up even further by adding 1 teaspoon nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper.

This recipe I love to make around Thanksgiving to drink or give as presents at Christmastime. The longer you wait the better it is, try and wait 4 weeks. I got this recipe from one of my own concoctions from trying several different recipes.

This is really right on for Amaretto!! It's hard to tell it from the real thing!

Sparkling apple cider, fresh orange juice, and lemonade concentrate blend into light and refreshing non-alcoholic punch in this easy recipe.

A delicious lemony treat without the bite of regular limoncello. This makes great Christmas gifts!

I had this cranberry martini recipe at a holiday party and everyone loved it. The cranberry juice mixes nicely with the liquor. It's a perfect smooth drink.

My grandfather brought this recipe over from Sweden in 1921. We still use it today. God Jul.

My friend, Jane, shared this recipe at our Christmas Bash 2014. It was enjoyed by all. It is very simple to make this recipe as an adult version or a kid-friendly version. Serve over ice. Cheers!

A simple carbonated punch with champagne, ginger ale and frozen strawberries.

A fun, delicious cocktail for your next holiday gathering. A good friend shared this great idea!

A wonderful winter beverage that is part custard, and part heaven. Don't be afraid to try this recipe using almond or rum flavoring instead of the traditional vanilla extract.

I make this at the beginning of the cold weather, and have it ready all winter. Vary the flavor of your mix by trying flavored nondairy creamer; I like the cinnamon.
