Iced fruit in little pieces (kiwi, watermelon, blueberries,etc), with ginger ale or sprite and a slice of lemon for decoration.

Congratulations, first off.
Second off, almost any drink can "look" loaded without being loaded by removing the spirits put in.
Egg nog, bloody marys, margaritas...just leave out the alcohol and you're set.
Let any former drinking buddies know of your commitment and be sure to "sample" any drinks given to you to make sure they're not sabotaging your plans (if you're in a party situation this holiday).

Virgin Lava Flow.. Soo Good
1 banana
1coconut cream
2 oz pineapple juice
2 oz strawberries
Blend banana, coconut cream, and pineapple juice in a blender and set aside. In the bottom of a hurricane glass, stir together strawberries
Pour banana/coconut/pineapple mix slowly into the glass. The strawberry mix should creep up the sides of the glass to make a wonderful looking (and tasting)!

Apple Cider & Chocolate are the old stand-bys, but how about a Wassail? How about Apple Orchard Punch? My sister-in-law makes one with a gallon of cheap fruit punch (like Very Fine), and two 2lts of ginger-ale. We also froze some more of the juice in a bundt pan and then put it in the punch to help keep it cold--I used a silicone pan so it popped out really easy.

Lots of good NON alcoholic wines out there. Also, as previously suggested, Egg nog is good, add a little 7-up to brighten it up and some grenadine for color. Wassail is good, Hot apple cider..
Lots of good choices.

I'm pregnant and have had to go to several Christmas parties where people are drinking. I asked the bartenders to make me a shirley temple in a martini glass. Complete with a cherry and all! It looks like a drink, people will think it is, but it isn't! If you like Sprite and cherry flavor... you're in!

Eggnog (without alcohol), fruit punch, pop, etc. Many mixed drinks look like pop, so you could have 7up, and say it's vodka and 7up. However, I think most people will respect your decision not to drink. They should anyway. Good for you!
