Ultimate Christmas Ornament Cocktails – Bring Festive Fun to Every Holiday Parties

This year, it’s not just about the taste of your Christmas holiday drinks – it’s about the experience and fun that comes with it. Perfect for those who love to host and add fancy Christmas drinks to their parties, ornament cocktails will make your guests feel like they’re sipping right from Santa’s workshop.

Let’s take a look at what Christmas Ornament cocktails are, how you can make them, and why they are the perfect addition to this year’s holiday parties.

What are Christmas Ornament Cocktails?

Christmas Ornament Drinks are fun, festive cocktails served inside clear, shatterproof plastic ornaments. These drinks look as delightful as they taste, and they bring a fresh twist to your usual Christmas drink serve. Instead of using regular glasses, you fill clear ornaments with your drink of choice, seal them up, and let guests pour the cocktails into their glasses or sip them straight from the ornament with a straw.

The idea is simple but brilliant – the ornament acts as a unique serving vessel, making the drink itself look like a Christmas decoration. Imagine sparkling red and green cocktails, mulled wine, or a creamy eggnog served this way. It’s an instant wow-factor for any holiday party! These Christmas Ornament drinks are a new and exciting way to get into the holiday spirit, and they’re surprisingly easy to make.

Why Christmas Ornament Cocktails and Mocktails are the Hit of the Season?

If you’re already planning your Christmas holiday drinks and want to try something a little different this year, these ornament cocktails might be exactly what you’re looking for. Not only do they look beautiful, but they also bring an element of surprise that’s sure to delight your guests. When your friends and family see these drinks, they can’t wait to taste it. They’ll likely have a lot of fun posting pictures on social media. 

Christmas Ornament Drinks also appeal to all ages. For kids and non-drinkers, you can serve fancy mocktails or juice blends in the ornaments. For adults, mix up any Christmas drink recipe you love, and you have yourself a memorable party favor or unique party centerpiece.

How to Make Christmas Ornament Cocktails and Mocktails (It’s Easier Than You Think!)

Creating your own Christmas Ornament Cocktails or Mocktails doesn’t take much time, but the payoff is big. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making your own.

1. Gather Your Ornaments

Start by finding clear plastic ornaments with removable tops. Make sure they’re food-safe and shatterproof. These ornaments are available at most craft stores, especially around the holiday season, and they’re usually inexpensive. Choose medium to large ornaments, so they can hold a generous serving of your Christmas holiday drinks.

2. Prep Your Drinks

You can use almost any Christmas drink recipe for your ornament cocktails. For example:

• Eggnog with a Twist: Add a dash of bourbon or rum for an adult version.
• Cranberry and Vodka: A bright red drink that’s tart and festive.
• Holiday Sangria: Colorful and full of fresh fruits like apple and pomegranate.

Whether it’s a classic Christmas drink or something you’ve created just for the occasion, make sure the colors pop! Clear, colorful drinks look particularly beautiful, as do creamy or frothy ones. When filling the ornaments, leave some space at the top so the drink doesn’t spill when your guests open them.

3. Fill the Ornaments Carefully

Using a small funnel, pour your prepared Christmas Ornament drinks into each ornament. This part can be a bit tricky, so pour slowly and keep napkins nearby in case of spills. Secure the top once each ornament is filled, and place them in a bowl or arrange them on a tray, ready to be served!

Creative Ideas for Your Christmas Ornament Cocktails

Want to take your Christmas Ornament cocktails or mocktails to the next level? Try these fun ideas:

Color Coordination

Pick drinks that match your holiday color scheme. Reds, greens, and whites are always festive, but don’t be afraid to experiment with blue or golden drinks for a winter wonderland feel.

Festive Garnishes

Drop small garnishes like cranberries, rosemary sprigs, or cinnamon sticks into the drinks. They’ll float and add a beautiful touch. For example, a red cocktail with a sprig of rosemary looks like a tiny Christmas tree inside the ornament!
