What\u2019s the most popular drink at <\/strong><\/span>Christmas<\/a><\/strong>?<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s that time of year again. You can keep your kale smoothies and kombucha. December is all about comfort, flavour, and those personal little rituals that see us home in these long, dark, cold winter nights.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what is everyone <\/span>actually<\/span><\/i> drinking at Christmas? Some surveys show wine tops the UK\u2019s Christmas drinks list, with nearly three-quarters of adults expecting to have a glass or three on the big day. Others rank brandy<\/a> as the nation\u2019s go-to festive spirit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s <\/span>Baileys<\/b><\/a> that appears to reign supreme as the nation\u2019s favourite festive drink across a number of polls taken, beating even prosecco and mulled wine.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s only half the story. Data might tell us what\u2019s poured most. But it can\u2019t tell us what makes Christmas taste like Christmas. So, here\u2019s the real rundown.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the Most Popular Drink at Christmas?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"What

The Baileys Hot Chocolate Bauble cocktail<\/p><\/div>\n

Baileys and Irish Cream Liqueurs<\/b><\/h3>\n
Pudding in a glass.<\/b><\/h5>\n

According to surveys, nearly half of the UK picks Baileys as their go-to Christmas drink. It\u2019s easy to see why. It\u2019s a socially acceptable way to drink cream before noon. Bailey\u2019s wasn\u2019t always a Christmas drink, but its creamy, chocolatey, and dangerously easy-to-drink profile has won many hearts and minds over the years. The liquid dessert for grown-ups is poured over ice all over the UK (and beyond) by mothers pretending they\u2019ll \u201cjust have one.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro tip: try swapping the standard Irish cream for a new favourite. The Irish cream liqueur market is beautiful right now, with all kinds of variations. <\/span>Coole Swan<\/a> is the decadent upgrade, while Dirty Cow creates a <\/span>Plant Based Cre*m Liqueur<\/span><\/a> for those who require a dairy-free alternative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you think cream liqueurs aren\u2019t for proper drinks people, then think again. <\/span>Crisma Cream Liqueur<\/span><\/a> is made with a base of rum from the <\/span>Foursquare Distillery<\/span><\/a> in Barbados. <\/span>Original Magnum<\/span><\/a> uses <\/span>Benriach whisky<\/span><\/a> as a base, and the likes of <\/span>Arran<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Buffalo Trace<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Edradour<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>The Whistler<\/span><\/a> have all got in on the act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Christmas

The traditional festive favourite is mulled wine<\/p><\/div>\n

Mulled Wine<\/b><\/h3>\n
Still the undefeated champion of traditional Christmas drinks.<\/b><\/h5>\n

Christmas means tradition, and that means mulled wine isn\u2019t going anywhere. Practically glowing with seasonal smugness, this mix of red wine, citrus, and enough clove and cinnamon to make your house smell like a market in Vienna, but these days, you don\u2019t need to do any hard work. You can buy it <\/span>bottled<\/span><\/a>, extending to all kinds of variations from <\/span>gin liqueurs<\/span><\/a> to ready-to-mix <\/span>syrups<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Making it at home will always give you the most rewarding drink, however. Good thing we have a <\/span>killer mulled wine recipe<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

You don’t have to go this fancy to enjoy Port at Christmas<\/p><\/div>\n

Wine (and its festive cousins: Sherry and Port)<\/b><\/h3>\n
The timeless Christmas trio.<\/b><\/h5>\n

From pre-dinner <\/span>sherry<\/span><\/a> to post-turkey <\/span>Port<\/span><\/a>, and all the <\/span>red<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>white<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>ros\u00e9s<\/span><\/a> served with dinner, <\/span>wine<\/span><\/a> and its fortified cousins practically run Christmas. It\u2019s really no surprise that wine dominates UK Christmas consumption; it fits every moment, from the first toast to the last trifle.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stronger stuff still needs to shake off a dusty bottle-on-the-shelf reputation for some, and we are part of the crusade to correct this oversight. A chilled <\/span>fino<\/span><\/a> before lunch? Excellent. A glass of <\/span>tawny Port<\/span><\/a> after? Perfection. Broaden your wine-soaked horizons with us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sparkling

‘Tis the season, but it doesn’t have to always be Champagne<\/p><\/div>\n

Champagne and Sparkling Wine<\/b><\/h3>\n
For toasts, triumphs, and \u201cwe survived another year.\u201d<\/b><\/h5>\n

On the same turf are <\/span>Champagne<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>sparkling wine<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s not Christmas without at least one bottle of something that pops. Champagne is classic, then Prosecco stole the spotlight for a while, and now <\/span>English sparkling wines<\/span><\/a> are delivering the goods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Buck\u2019s Fizz<\/b><\/h3>\n
Breakfast of champions (and overtired parents).<\/b><\/h5>\n

Annnd finishing off our wine section of this article is the orange juice you are only allowed once a year. Two parts Champagne to one part OJ, ideally served before 9 am while in a paper crown. Make the <\/span>best edition of your life here<\/span><\/a>. The key is good fizzy, fresh juice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Buy

Are you buying whisky this Christmas?<\/p><\/div>\n

Whisky<\/b><\/h3>\n
The quiet hero of the Christmas drinks cabinet.<\/b><\/h5>\n

Whisky<\/span><\/a> is obviously our pick. We\u2019re sure it\u2019s many of our readers, too. Sitting down with a dram of something new or fantastically familiar is one of life\u2019s pleasures. A festive cocktail is too. Heck, whisky goes with everything from Christmas pudding to awkward family reunions. We\u2019ve got two new <\/span>Christmas bottlings<\/span><\/a> to check out, while we\u2019re on the subject.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

Gin-vent, anyone?<\/p><\/div>\n

Gin and Tonic<\/b><\/h3>\n
The Christmas gin craze is alive and well.<\/b><\/h5>\n

Gin<\/span><\/a> doesn\u2019t hibernate for winter. There are so many seasonal editions now, such as <\/span>Yuletide Gin<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>GINgle All The Way<\/span><\/a>. Other examples include <\/span>Orkney<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Black Cat<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Trevethan<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Sacred<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Solway<\/span><\/a>. You can even buy a <\/span>snowglobe bottle<\/span><\/a>. Here\u2019s another pro tip. Take your favourite gin and swap tonic for ginger ale, garnish with cinnamon or rosemary, and voil\u00e0: instant Christmas spirit. Literally.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rum<\/b><\/h3>\n
The dark horse of the festive season.<\/b><\/h5>\n

Rum<\/span><\/a> thrives in December. All that vanilla, clove, and caramel sweetness makes it ideal for Christmas cocktails, hot chocolate upgrades, or just sipping slowly while you wait for the Queen\u2019s Speech (or whoever\u2019s doing it now).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"A

Who wants to make the Best Whisky Eggnog there is?<\/p><\/div>\n

Eggnog<\/b><\/h3>\n
The most controversial Christmas drink on Earth.<\/b><\/h5>\n

First things first, here\u2019s <\/span>our Eggnog recipe<\/span><\/a>. It\u2019s rich in brandy, cinnamon, and nostalgia. Because if the eggnog is bad, you only have yourself to blame. It\u2019s very much an American thing, and it doesn\u2019t have the best <\/span>rep, which means if you make a mean one in the UK, people will see you as the hipster drinks whisperer. Or you could go more traditional and just make a <\/span>Snowball<\/span><\/a>. I love a Snowball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"The

Want to give the gift of a fine drink this Christmas? We can help.<\/p><\/div>\n

So, What\u2019s the Real Winner?<\/b><\/h3>\n

At Christmas, every drink has its moment. Baileys rules the sofa, Champagne gets the celebratory moments, and mulled wine has the history. But there\u2019s only one victor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whisky, of course. This is Master of Malt. The game is rigged. It always was. Whisky wins.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can toast with it, sip it, mix it, or gift it. It works before dinner, after dinner, and as dinner (if you plan badly enough). Whatever you\u2019re drinking this year, make it count, make it good, and maybe make it a double.<\/span><\/p>\n
