Originally I was going to make this post about winter/holiday beers.  But then I thought about it a little bit, and didn’t want to inadvertently exclude anyone who wants to unload a passionate love of an eggnog cocktail or a hot mug of mulled wine.

So what are your favorite holiday drinks?

I discovered Bell’s piney Christmas Ale a few weeks ago, which is an interesting take on a holiday beer.  But after a couple Decembers in Europe over the last decade, I have trouble steering away from a good mug of gluhwein.   Especially on a freezing cold day.

Got anything better?
