This time every year you could fill up your entire day traipsing between the holiday specials picking up everything with a red tag. While you wade through the sale racks, be sure to try the “limited time only – holiday special” drinks that are flooding in.
Start your day out with Starbucks, where they are proudly celebrating with some delicious beverages. Choose from a peppermint mocha that’s exactly what it advertises or a gingerbread latte with spice-infused whipped cream. There’s also an eggnog latte for those who are feeling festive.
Are you in the mood for something sweeter? Try the caramel brulée latte! Don’t think you need to be fully caffeinated to finish your shopping spree? Don’t worry; you can cozy up to a delicious cup of their handmade hot chocolate.
“My favorite holiday drink is hot chocolate. I like to drink it while sitting next to a fire. It reminds me of my childhood,” junior business marketing major, Chris Danby said.
Keep in mind that all of that shopping can work up a sweat. In the mood for something cold and refreshing? Stop by Chick-fil-A for a peppermint chocolate chip milkshake at your lunchtime pit stop.
After a long day of running, come home and mix up your own celebratory cocktails, legally aged friends! There are plenty of relaxing concoctions to enjoy.
“My favorite holiday drink is an eggnog martini with brandy because it tastes like Christmas and it makes my holiday celebration special,” senior education major Rachel Mayer said. “I can drink it while decorating my Christmas tree with my family.”
If you’re looking to spice up your night, there are plenty of newly popular drinks, such as the fruity Jingle Juice, the sweet-with-a-bite apple cider margarita, a bubbly Grinch spritzer or a tropically tangy Jack Frost. Perfect for all the themed festivities!
It seems drinks have become an integral part of every season. Fall is no longer complete without pumpkin spiced … everything, and Christmas also has its seasonal staples. Try to catch them before they are gone!
