It’s official, Thanksgiving is done, it’s time to bring in the Christmas joy. And what we mean by Christmas joy, we mean Christmas drinks. It’s time to get rid of the pumpkin spice and bring in the eggnog, chocolate, and peppermint flavors. Helps the burn hurt a little less when there is a little eggnog mixed in. Christmas is the perfect time to drink as much as you want and no one will judge you. If people ask why you are drinking so much, all you need to say is “it’s Christmas” and you are gold.
