You can make a great punch drink for alcohol or non. I would also suggest the flavored Martini drinks that you can find at your local liquor store. The wine stores usually have a great selection. These come in all festive colors & would be ideal for the Holiday! I had a martini party a few months ago & it was a hit.

non alcoholic- My mom made this frappe for a baby shower I hosted over the weekend. You mix any color of sherbet -we had green, with 7-Up or Sprite. She added pinneapple juice and everyone really liked it! Or a punch Fruit punch with sprite. I hate eggnog, I think its gross. I prefer water anyway but hot tea, hot chocolate and cranberry apple cider are always good bets.

One of my favorite things to drink during the holiday's is Hot Chocolate. I mix milk and water (equal parts)and then heat it up and add hot chocolate mix. I then top it off with marshmallow cream and a peppermint stick. Yum!
