Three family-friendly drinks that are perfect for Christmas — or any celebration!

Ho-ho-holy moly, it's time for ho-ho-holiday celebrations!
Whether you're gathering with friends, family, neighbours, or coworkers, make sure to prepare a batch (or five!) of refreshing drinks for the crowd.
Here are 3 ice-cold alcohol-free holiday drinks that can be enjoyed by kids and grownups alike.

ICED EGGNOGG

Rich, creamy, sweet — almost like melted ice cream, but better! Featuring Christmas spices that'll bring the holiday cheer to whole new levels.
Ingredients, 4 serves:
  • 6 egg yolks (save the whites for meringue or pavlova)
  • 1/3-1/2 cup sugar (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • Ice to serve
Method:
  • In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks, sugar and spices until well combined.
  • Pour in milk and whisk to combine.
  • Place saucepan over medium-low heat and whisk frequently for 10 minutes or until mixture is thickened. A good indicator of the mixture being ready is if it coats the back of a spoon when dipped in.
  • Transfer the eggnog to a container and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Serve eggnog in glasses with lots of ice. Sprinkle over extra cinnamon if desired.

Ingredients, 6 serves:
  • 2 tbsp drinking chocolate
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 cups almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 2-3 cups ice
Method:
  • Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor.

CHERRY PUNCH

Superbly colourful, flavourful, and thirst-quenching! A sparkling drink with homemade cherry cordial syrup topped with sparkling water and flavoured with a touch of Christmassy cardamom.
Ingredients, 4 serves:
  • 1 lemon
  • 500g cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 tsp ground cardamom or 3 cardamom pods
  • 1 cup tap water
  • optional: sugar to taste
  • 1 L sparkling water
  • ice cubes
Method:
  • Zest and juice lemon. Add to a saucepan along with cherries, cardamom and water (add sugar here if doing so).
  • Bring to a boil and simmer for 8 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture into a container or jars to cool. (This is a great time to divide the punch base into small jars to give as gifts!).
  • Divide punch base into glasses or a serving jug to taste and top with sparkling water and ice blocks.
