If you’re looking for something to help you through the holiday hustle, or simply sip curled up by the fire, these must-try winter beverages bring the joy—and maybe even a little buzz.
Eggnog Blended Coffee
Ashley Newell spruces up her everyday iced coffee with a nostalgic holiday tradition, eggnog. To make it, add cooled coffee, our rich and creamy eggnog, and ice to a blender and blend until smooth. It’s a perfect pick-me-up that’s spiced just right and adds extra comfort to your cozy mornings. Or take it on the go for some holiday shopping fuel!
Bonus tip: Make it kid-friendly by using decaf coffee and regular milk. Craving a cocktail? Add a splash of Kahlua or spiced rum.
Matcha Grinchmas Latte
If Whoville had a coffee shop, Mandy Hwang’s Matcha Grinchmas Latte would be a bestseller. Made with earthy matcha and frothy farm-fresh Crystal Whole Milk, it captures that signature Grinch-green hue and brings the merry vibes as you gear up for gift wrapping. Add a swirl of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry to create a cute Santa hat.
Peppermint Blizzard Float
Danitzia Singh’s fizzy Peppermint Blizzard Float is pure winter magic. Layers of our limited edition Peppermint Blizzard ice cream, sparkling water, whipped cream, and crushed candy canes come together for a refreshing, minty treat the whole family will enjoy. Here’s to making your holiday celebrations bubbly and bright.
Bonus tip: For a boozy version, add a shot of chocolate liqueur or peppermint schnapps.
