12 Drinks to Celebrate the Magic of Christmas

We have nearly arrived at the end of another year, one that many have been wishing would speed past, and while this year certainly has been unlike any other, there is still something to be said for tradition, especially around the holidays. This year has really tested us all, and whether you spent the season with family in person or from a distance, this holiday season has been the perfect reminder of all we have to still be so grateful for. From dazzling lights to the twinkle in a child’s eye when they see Santa Clause, the holiday season is a wonderful reminder of all of the magic and the goodness in our world. More than just the gifts we receive, it’s the traditions that we create, keep and pass down that make the holidays so special.

A favorite tradition of ours here at the National Honey Board is our annual 12 Drinks of Christmas. In its tenth year, this holiday campaign serves up some of our favorite honey-inspired beverages spanning all holiday events and occasions, from holiday party cocktails to Christmas morning coffee. A highlight of the holiday season, over the last two weeks we counted down the days to Christmas on our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Whether you choose to mix up a batch of cocktails or warm a pot of apple cider, these honey beverages are sure to make your season a little brighter. If you missed any of the recipes, we’ve got them below.
