Christmas Drinks

At Christmastime there are always festive foods and drinks around. In the freezer maybe there is some Tom & Jerry batter, waiting to be mixed up. Or, some hot buttered rum being prepared. And of course: eggnog. Not all of the drinks here are alcohol based. There are plenty of versions that are completely family-friendly to help you relive old Christmas memories or create new ones.
