Mulled Gin and Moscow Mules are festive favorites that will please everyone at your Christmas party. Wren Kitchens has revealed their top six festive favorites which are sure to get the party started during the short holiday season.

I enjoy entertaining my holiday guests with new recipes. I’ve compiled a list of delicious and historically significant seasonal drinks. In the 1940s, the famous Moscow Mule cocktail was created in the United States. Aside from Eggnog, other popular cocktails on the list are from the UK.

It’s easy to see why these cocktails have been a favorite for decades. All of these recipes are super easy to make in your own kitchen, and they’re packed with flavor. A cocktail for every palate, these recipes are not to be missed this Christmas. Additional sources for this article include Eggnog Origin and Moscow Mule Origin.

  Enter the swarm and take yourself to see at least one Hornet’s game this year. In the winter, you can enjoy a seat in the hive while watching some talented basketballers shoot some hoops and enjoying classic stadium concessions all in the comfort of the stands. It's warm and cozy and so much fun! A Hornets game is a memorable and exciting experience for all ages, regardless of whether basketball is your thing.
