30 Festive Christmas Mocktails to Celebrate the Season

I love having friends and family round over the festive period and I like to make it feel a little extra special by offering some seasonal food and drinks. I always make some Christmas Cocktails for our guests, but I also like to make Christmas Mocktails for those who don’t want (or are too young) to drink alcohol.

You don’t actually need to spend a fortune or buy in lots of complicated ingredients in order to make some simply delicious mocktails. You just need a few ingredients in order to be able to make tasty festive drinks and make the get together feel extra special for the holiday season.

I’ve put together 30 Christmas Cocktails for you to try out at your holiday celebrations this year.

Make sure you also try out my Big Batch New Years Drinks, Alcoholic Christmas Punch recipes, Christmas smoothie recipes and my Winter Cocktails.
