Congratulations, guys. The end is in sight. We made it. Through Halloween, Thanksgiving, and those other holidays you should probably know, but don’t, because you’re unemployed, so you don’t get time off. Assuming you served Black Friday alright, all that’s left is to get through your December holiday of choice, which can be pretty stressful for… everyone. And so, to help you along, Foodbeast presents  the 25 Days of Christmas.

Except 6, instead of 25. And drinks instead of days. As well it should be.

1. The Grinch

Recreate childhood memories of watching reruns of How the Grinch Stole Christmas with this alcoholic version of the green Scrooge.

2. The Sugar Cookie Shot

A.K.A. the “Sweet Like Betty Crock-Er” shot, which is based off a song, or something, but what you need to know is that this is a shot, and it uses sugar cookie mix. Okay? Okay. Add some whipped cream and festive sprinkles, and you can sing about whatever you like.

3. Candy Cane Shooters

Everyone knows it’s not winter until peppermint shows up everywhere. It’s like pumpkin in autumn. Most people take it or leave it, ‘cept for a few months of the year, when we put in in our coffee, cocoa, cupcakes, and other things befitting of an ordered list. We’ve already shown you pumpkin pie shots. Now you get the same thing, but with candy canes. Enjoy.

4. The Gingerbread Martini

I mean. What else is there to say? It’s a gingerbread house in a martini. Less stale candy, less hard work, more buzz. Win-win-win.

5. Bourbon Apple Crisp Shooters

Everything’s good when bourbon is  involved. Yes, please.

6. Boozy Hot Chocolate

It’s the quintessential sit-in-front-of-the-fireplace-on-a-cold-night-and-hold-an-artisan-mug-with-both-hands-while-giggling-with-your-loved-ones beverage of the season. So, is it any surprise so many jacked versions have cropped up? The pictured iteration of hot chocolate three sheets to the wind is made with chocolate liqueur. Chocolate and alcohol? I’m sold.

Aziza Sullivan has always enjoyed three things in excess: food, writing, and sleeping. While the first two are happily combined, the third tends to get in the way, since it turns out the average reader is uninterested in sleep blogs. She also enjoys coffee, probably too much, if there is such a thing.
