CajunAce Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 What is your favorite Christmas drink? Hot Chocolate, hot apple cider, or eggnog? I personally prefer hot apple cider, but I'll like to know what y'all think. Also, if you have a different fav drink, post it below. Link to post Share on other sites
ColeHW34 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hot chocolate mixed in with brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon and a lightly roasted marshmallow. Sort of like the Hot chocolate Mr. Flanders made from the Simpsons movie. Link to post Share on other sites

iff Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hot chocolate though also I do like a mulled non-alcoholic wine-like drink Link to post Share on other sites
Skycaptain Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I might mix a brandy and black coffee, otherwise I'll just have the same drinks as the rest of the year Link to post Share on other sites
SpaceDustbin Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I quite like hot apple cider, but that's not really a big thing here, so I mostly settle for glühwein. The more spices, the better 😛 Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 All of the 3 listed drinks - but they have to be good versions (not like the insipid hot cider powdered drink). Even then I would choose hot chocolate or eggnog over hot cider. Link to post Share on other sites
fuzzipueo Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hot chocolate is a favorite as soon as it gets cool enough to enjoy, regardless of the holiday. I do enjoy the occasional cup of eggnog - in small doses. I also enjoy a good breakfast tea if I need something warm to drink. Link to post Share on other sites
XYZ96 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Kinderpunsch, basically warm fruit punch, is my favorite Christmas drink. It's made with fruit tea, fruit juices and spices (like cloves and cinnamon), and then heated and served warm. Link to post Share on other sites
Gloomy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I love eggnog. Link to post Share on other sites
everywhere and nowhere Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Tea, as always. I'm an absolute teamaniac. There are lots of warming winter teas - some are quite like a non-alcoholic version of mulled wine, and that's a nice thing, because I'm interested in experimenting with flavours, but also proud to drink zero alcohol and plainly averse to its taste. For me anything with alcohol in it just tastes bad, and as for its effects... I have never been drunk, but I feel so much disdain for alcohol whenever I can see or hear drunk people, I just can't imagine how can people see that as "fun". But anyway, I'm not a partygoer, my idea of "fun" or rather Pleasant Time (because words such as "fun" are hardly part of my normal vocabulary) is more about reading, talking, playing a game... Currently I have three teas of the "warming tea" kind open: orange with spices, ginger with sea buckthorn and raspberry with chilli. All of these are fruit teas - in fact, I'd say that fruit teas with hibiscus are my least favorite kind (hibiscus tends to damp the flavours of other ingredients and mostly leave its own sour taste), but I try them too anyway. An example of my teamania: I never drink the same tea more than once a day, my "personal best" is - I'm not sure, so I'll have to beat it - 19 or 20 glasses of tea in one day. Btw, I've bought some fascinating tea today, though I haven't tried it yet (to be honest, I have a lot of tea waiting in line, but I always prefer to buy it sooner than later because it might disappear from the store... I've already had it happen in case of a few teas). Chocolate genmaicha - genmaicha is traditional Japanese green tea with roasted rice (originally rather poor people's drink because rice was cheaper than tea, but genmaicha is really nice on its own) and in this case it also has some cocoa, coconut chips, caramel and cookie flavouring and so on...

Alejandrogynous Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 There should be an 'all of the above' option. Hot apple cider, hot chocolate (real chocolate, not powdered), eggnog, mulled wine, hot tea (many kinds), hot toddies, irish coffee, hot mead. I'm a hot drink fanatic.

Guest Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 @Nowhere Girl Your idea of pleasant time sounds like fun to me! 😄 I'm also not fond of drunk people, but I grew up with an alcoholic mother... 😥 I like genmaicha! There's a chocolate kind, you say? 🤤 My favorite Christmas drink is a peppermint mocha! 💜 Link to post Share on other sites
ben8884 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Egg nog for me as I prefer cold drinks. I take chocolate milk over hot chocolate and cold apple cider over hot-except for when I am in Ottawa for Winterlude, then a nice cup of hot apple cider while walking down the Rideau is most welcome.

Oh wow. I love genmaicha but I've never heard of it being combined with chocolate. I am very intrigued! Link to post Share on other sites

Larkaloke Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Glühwein. I do like hot chocolate, and to some extent eggnog, but both - and egnnog especially - make me somewhat ill if made properly (milk-substitute ones just aren't quite the same). Apple cider, when heated and with at least one cinnamon stick, is also a thing I enjoy - but I think of it as more of an autumn drink than a winter drink. Link to post Share on other sites

PixleyDust✨ Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Starbucks usually has some gingerbread flavored drinks happening, I think they have gingerbread hot coco. At least, that’s what I was thinking of when I typed it. I’m going to double check right now. EDIT: Okay, so they have a snickerdoodle hot chocolate, and a gingerbread creme, but no gingerbread hot chocolate, boo. But there are mixes online, might have to give those a test run. Or just look up the recipe and make my own WHAT. 😋✨ Link to post Share on other sites

I did recently have their cinnamon spice tea. it was good (after I waited 15 minutes for it to cool down) Link to post Share on other sites
