Nothing like a hot mulled cider for me! If not that, hard cider is another choice.

We always get the sparkling grape juice. I'd love it if someone made apple cider too. My uncle does have some kind of wine at his party, but I'm not sure what it is. I've tried wine twice and didn't like it either time, so I'm not trying it again.

I know most people love it or hate it, but I love Egg Nog! Yum!

I don't really have a favorite holiday drink but what's a party without a couple of bottles of red wine - preferably Cabernat!!

For cocktails - I like gin and tonics!!

This time of year I always want Egg Nog and Hot Apple Cider...those drinks just set the mood for me!

This is sooo not original or creative, but at our house, the girls insist that it is not Christmas without Martinellis Cider.

We have three favorites in our house over the holidays:
* Amaretto and Orange Juice
* White Russians
* and we always have a shot of something our friend calls a Sicilian Kiss... equal parts amaretto and Crown Royal

A little Bailey's always gets me in the mood for the holidays.
One of my favorite recipe's
1 shot Bailey's
1 shot Kalua
a little splash of Goldschl?ger
always gets me in the holiday spirit!
I won't post the name of this drink here, being that it is a family friendly board!

Rosa Regale is my first pick (and I just picked up a bottle earlier this week ) but if I'm not up to going to get it I'm also found of Beaujolais nouveau, which you can only get this time of year.
Funny story, we picked up a bottle of Beaujolais nouveau at Trader Joe's last year for $9, then saw it being sold it Epcot for $25.
