18 Holiday Drinks We Scored from Pinterest

The biggest reason we adore the holidays so much is the sheer festiveness of it all: the decorations, the food and the sweets. We also love any occasion that allows us to kick back with a seasonal sipper that instantly puts you in a cheery mood. We turned to Pinterest to find 18 of the best holiday beverages out there, which you can see below (and on our holiday drinks board).

Apple Pie Moscow Mules

Dessert in a copper mug. And it can be made as a mocktail, too.  

Slow-cooker Cranberry Apple Cider

This gorgeous nonalcoholic drink is the perfect after-dinner warmer for the whole family.

Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

A cute one for the kids. They’ll have fun crushing and sprinkling the peppermint candy that tops it.

Calling all salty-sweet fans. Vanilla marshmallows are just the beginning.


Cranberry Orange Holiday Punch

Colorful and crisp, this punch is another family-friendly treat.

Frozen Hot Chocolate

You don’t have to go to NYC’s Serendipity to sip on this icy treat. In fact, it’s super easy to make at home.

Sparkling Apple Pie Cocktail

We’d go apple picking every weekend if we could have one of these at the end of each day.

S'mores Hot Chocolate

From the graham-cracker rim to the toasted marshmallow topping, we’re obsessed with this wintry treat.

Few drinks say “home for the holidays” like this spicy concoction.

Christmas Sangria

How many times a year do you get to use real cranberries? Not enough, in our opinion. These red beauties add instant holiday cheer.

Cranberry And Apple Cider Sangria

Because you also need a red sangria.


Homemade Salted Caramel Eggnog

The list wouldn’t be complete without this classic drink—with a salty twist.

Red Wine Hot Chocolate

Two of life’s greatest things, stirred up into one seriously sinful mug.


Hard Apple Cider Float

If you’ve had enough of this hot stuff, cool off with sippable spiked ice cream. 


Mulled Cider

We had time to mull it over and we’ll take one of these, please.

Spiced Apple Margarita

You can still enjoy a margarita even as the temperatures dip. Just add some seasonal flavors like star anise and cinnamon.
