Fun and Festive Christmas Cocktails!
I love a good cocktail. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very much a Pinot Grigio gal on a regular day, but sometimes I like to spice things up with a specialty drink. And what better time to try out a new Christmas cocktail recipe than during the holidays? Two of my favourites combined into one!
Christmas cocktails are usually full of cranberries, spiced rum, or some eggnog if you’re a fan like me. Whether you’re hosting a fun holiday party or simply looking to sit back and watch a Christmas movie with a matching Christmas cocktail, this list has something for everyone!
Godiva Chocolate Candy Cane Cocktail
Starting off with a bang, we’ve go the Godiva Chocolate Candy Cane Cocktail! Made with Godiva chocolate liqueur, peppermint schnapps, and vanilla vodka, these Christmas cocktails are easy to make and incredibly festive!
White Christmas Margarita Punch
Margaritas aren’t only for those warm summer days! Try this White Christmas Margarita Punch made with coconut and lime!
Christmas Sangria
I love making sangrias- not only are they delicious, they’re easy to make! This Christmas Cocktail is perfectly crisp while still being sweet, and you’ll definitely want more than one!
Cranberry Champagne Cocktail
Made with splashes of cranberry and lime, this recipe is the perfect way to spice up a regular glass of champagne (or Prosecco!) and turn these into the perfect holiday cocktails!

Not Your Grandma’s Eggnog
Eggnog can be a controversial topic during the holidays- you either LOVE it or you really, really hate it. Personally, I’m an eggnog lover so these Bourbon Eggnog cocktails look absolutely delicious! If you’re a fan of the nog these are a must try.
Slow Cooker Cranberry Apple Cider
Another traditional holiday drink is apple cider, but this recipe mixes it up by adding cranberry, orange juices, and spices!
