Get ready for 25 days of cocktails.

You’ve heard of 25 days of Christmas, but are you familiar with the surest way to have an extra merry holiday season? It’s called 25 days of cocktails. Think of this new tradition as a DIY boozy advent calendar of sorts.

Here’s the gist: You get your hygge on in your matching family jammies, all while getting extra festive, with a slew of seasonal cocktails that have a distinctly Christmas spin. Think mistletoe martinis (bright red ones garnished with, what else, mistletoe) to sip on over dinner, spiked peppermint hot chocolate for binge watching Hallmark movies, and Champagne shooters perfect for toasting on Christmas Eve.

Of course, you don’t have to indulge on a daily basis. There are plenty of recipes to cherry pick from if you’re hosting a holiday party. Think: mimosas or a Grinch-inspired punch for a Christmas day open house or pear-studded Manhattan’s sure to have the cocktail party crowd rocking around your Christmas tree.

Either way, consider these cocktail and drink recipes your official drinks of the Christmas season. Whatever your preference—vodka, gin, bourbon—there’s an easy to make option that’s sure to be popular.
