EGG NOG! Yum! Winter would not be complete without a large glass of egg nog... and it is quite good with some Sprite in it as well.

A close runner up is Mint Hot Chocolate.

Any time of day or night, a glass of fresh cold water is my favorite breverage!

I voted for apple cider though hot chocolate would be a close second.

Well, you can have your glass of raw liquid pumpkin pie filling egg nog. ;)

Haha, I love your description. I just cannot acquire a taste for that stuff. :P

This was a hard decision since I really like all of those drinks. I would probably choose coffee or cider if offered to me. I try to stay away from caffine, but I love an occasional flavored coffee.

Personally, I prefer drinking water for the most part, especially since I haven't been able to develop a taste for tea. : p

But I drink hot lemonade (hot water, lemon juice {squeezed lemon if we have the luxury}, and a bit of honey). It's very good for a sore throat, with the vitamin C of the lemon juice. : )

And, at Dad's request, I tasted healthy hot chocolate (found at http://www.ganozone.net) and try to drink a cup of that most days. The h.c. is supposed to be especially good for your brain and mental clarity (and I need all the help I can get! ; )). I do like it - it's quite tasty and not so sweet like most. : )

either cappuccino or warm, sweet milk...so yummy!

I drink tea pretty much every day all year though, except on the hottest days of summer.

as I drink it nearly daily and love to have mine with a teaspoon of xylitol in it. But my favorite drink is Hot Chai which is a sort of tea I guess, but more creamy. We have our own instant chai tea mix that we make.

Wassail and liquid custard are two of my favorites although I don't have them often. It is just easier to make a cup of tea or coffee!

You can buy it at the store - most stores have it, and the hispanic-oriented ones DEFINITELY will have it. It's called Abuelita. Mmmmmmm..... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51e-UjzgBOL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

I thoroughly enjoy chi tea. However, I've stopped making my own since I found how harmful dry milk powder is for you. I would love a recipe that was healthy and easy to make and still tastes good!

I put coffee but it isnt as simple as that. It has to be a thick latte or a nice frothy cappucino. I would love to get the recipe for the gingerbread latte, it sounds very warm and chrismasy. One thing I am missing living in australia. It is summer for christmas and I never enjoy it.

Is my favorite.I like a tiny bit of Tiramisu creamer in it.Yummy!

coffee. One cup of decaf Caribou Coffee (their house blend or Reindeer blend at Christmas time) every morning is usually enough for me. In addition, I enjoy Adigio tea (thanks Tammy for the review a while back) when I'm wanting something lighter. BUT hot chocolate is my go to when I'm craving some chocolate and I will grap a cup of hot cider when the "need" hits me.

but for the holidays, our favorite holiday drink is strong black tea, sweetened, and creamed with real egg nog. We don't like eggnog lattes in our house, but with tea, it's the best.

Instant hot chai tea (we make our own) and I also liked Spiced Cider.
Hot tea is good too; esp winter time.
Oh and Joshua, bring on the egg nog!! Our entire family loves it. Most relatives and friends think we are crazy =D

I make a mix for wassail that I make. I like to have it during the holiday season!!

I LOVE chai - it's definitely my winter favorite!

I got hooked on a mix because I don't like coffee or hot coco alone but mixed it is great! Here is my combo...

1/2 c coffee (my hubs makes his coffee VERY strong)
1/2 c water (milk sometimes)
1/2 T. chocolate syrup
1/2 T. vanilla creamer
1/2t. sugar

I realize that is a lot of trouble but it is very very good! We have a grocery store out here that has a small, make it yourself, coffee bar that I started making this concoction at. I shop there with my coupons and my friend kept getting coffee. I finally was soooo cold I had to figure out something I could drink. Once I figured this out I have been hooked! At the store I use steamed milk but at home I use water. It only costs me $1 which is 1/4 the cost of a fancy coffee house and for me it is BETTER than a coffee house!

My Favorite holiday drink is Apple Cider (Cold and Hot) with biscotti and a close second is gingerbread eggnog because it tastes like Christmas (the only description that fits the taste)

cappuccino homemade or store bought, doesn't matter.

I LOVE my tea!!. . .I have a tea cabinet lol. . .I have all sorts of teas, from chai to earl grey and lady grey, regular black tea, raspberry tea, lemon, peppermint, irish breakfast and the list goes OOOOONNNNN!!.. . my son loves camomile tea at night and especially when he is sick. . .
I want to thank those of you for the recipes, I'm a foodie and I love trying new things and especially when I can make them from scratch. . .
here is a tip: if you don't have apple cider, just heat some apple juice up and add cinnamon, ginger, and/or nutmeg.. . I get apple juice from my WIC program and jus tuse that for cider, that way we can drink it cold or we can heat it up. . .

Gretchen

I would like a homemade recipe for that one and also the chai please
