Hey, Reader!

Christmastime and cozy just go hand in hand. There's something special about curling up by the fire or snuggling under a blanket, safe from whatever winter weather is outside.

Add in twinkling lights on the tree and a Christmas movie or two and you've just described an almost perfect evening. All you need is a cocktail that matches the vibes!

These winter warmers are the perfect companions all season long:

baileys hot chocolate

Silky and smooth, this Baileys hot chocolate is the perfect boozy beverage to sip on a chilly evening in. Pile on all of your favorite hot chocolate toppings for a little extra fun.

spiced cider hot buttered toddy

A twist on a hot buttered rum, this rich, warm sip is an amazing way to cozy up on cool winter days. This hot buttered spiced cider toddy is a must-make!

instant pot mulled cider

Instant Pot mulled wine is the coziest holiday drink! Also known as glühwein, this recipe is simple to make in the Instant Pot, but can also be made in the slow cooker or on the stovetop. Perfectly spiced and ideal for holiday gatherings!

gingerbread mocktail

The holiday season is here, and there’s no better way to get into the Christmas spirit than with a sweet, spiced drink in hand! If you’re looking for a non-alcoholic option that brings all the warmth and cheer of the season, this gingerbread mocktail is the perfect choice.

These drinks are just the thing to ward off winter's chill (even if you live somewhere only mildly chilly!)

Stay cozy!
