On Christmas morning, a warm, comforting drink sets the tone for a joyful day. Hot chocolate made with steamed milk and rich cocoa powder is a favorite, especially when topped with whipped cream or festive sprinkles. For a fruity twist, try warm cranberry-apple cider infused with cinnamon sticks and orange slices. Herbal teas like peppermint or chamomile offer soothing flavors and aromas. A creamy vanilla steamer or golden milk with turmeric and honey can be both nourishing and festive. These non-caffeinated, alcohol-free options are perfect for all ages, bringing warmth and delight as loved ones gather to celebrate the holiday together. A special drink enhances the joy of unwrapping gifts and gathering with loved ones. It’s a simple tradition that adds magic to the most wonderful time of the year. This recipe is our favorite, and we make it through out the whole season. It's a drink that just feels like the Christmas season.
