What do you drink during Christmas?

[Martinus]

Do you have any favourite Christmas (alcoholic) drinks? Obviously eggnog is one choice, but are there others?

I tend to focus on eggnog and port myself.

Couple years took some Calvados to the extended family gathering.  Went over pretty well.

[Savonarola]

CB's family makes flaming shots of Drambuie or Creme de Menthe with 100 proof SoCo on top. 

I prefer a mug of spiced wine.   

I recommend trying flap dragon if you have some brandy, rasins and a pyrex sheet:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snap-dragon_(game)

[Richard Hakluyt]

I normally get some Madeira, some upmarket sherry, Chablis and a big bottle of gin 

[Pedrito]

Drambuie 

...and champagne, to celebrate my birthday.

Vodka. (Not really Christmas, but New Years, which is like Christmas to Russians).

[Valmy]

Red wine on Christmas eve, mimosas Christmas Morning.  It is tradition or something.

[DontSayBanana]

Asti Spumante to drink with dinner.  Vodka once everybody's too tipsy to notice me getting drunk.

[Brazen]

I pretty much stick to wine and beer like the rest of the year these days. I used to get a bottle of Advocaat and one of lemonade to make snowballs, which still say "Christmas" to me (and probably started me on my drinking career at a young age).

[Strix]

Eggnog with rum and some of the seasonal micro beers.

[Josephus]

Never an eggnog fan.

ON Christmas Eve I'm at my older brothers' and we have some nice wines for dinner, vermouth for an appetizer and we normally hit the port later in the evening.

On Christmas day, traditonally, I have a couple glasses of Scotch early in the afternoon, some wine with dinner and then settle down with some wintry British ales in the evening.

[Brazen]

I'm not even 100% sure what eggnog IS. I imagine not unlike Advocaat. The notion that there might be a version without alcohol that people actually willingly drink boggles the mind.

[Josquius]

Christmas isn't the time for drinking, its the time for playing nice with relatives.
New years now....I could tell you a tale or two of new years.

[Josephus]

Egg nog is an American inventions, I think, though I could be wrong. It's a sort of creamy milk thing, that you're supposed to add rum to it. It's pretty vile, which is why I think it's American.

[MadImmortalMan]

Scotch or vodka. Just like the rest of the year. 'Cept I might spring for a really great single malt for a Christmas treat. The goose is always in the freezer.
