Christmas is upon us, people! If you aren’t already Christmas AF, you need to start. And the best way to start is with what you decide to drink in the morning (or evening)!
1. Chestnut Praline Latte – Starbucks
Honestly, the name “Chestnut Praline” scared me away for years, and I didn’t actually try this drink until this year. I am so glad I finally gave in. Fact: this drink tastes ~exactly~ like what I imagine Christmas tastes like. And for all you collegiettes that worry about what Starbucks does to your bank account, it’s Christmas. Treat. Yo. Self.

2. Christmas Chai – Argo Tea
Oh. My. God. It was love at first sip, and I’m pretty sure Hallmark could make a movie about my newfound love affair with Christmas Chai. Also, if you download the Argo Tea app, you automatically get $5 to spend on ANYTHING at Argo Tea, located in Fenwick Lobby. It’s a win-win…win (The Office, anyone?).
3. Hot Chocolate

You can never go wrong with this Christmas classic. If you want, you can even put together a hot chocolate ~bar~ and host a holiday party for all your friends. This tasty idea would make Guy Fieri proud.
4. Eggnog

There are many variations of eggnog recipes, but I have found that this is one of my favorites!
5. Chestnut Chai Latte – De Clieu Coffee in Fairfax, VA

Are chestnuts roasting on an open fire, or simply in this cute coffee shop in Fairfax? The answer is both.

6. Holiday Spice Flat White – Starbucks
This drink is probably the most accurate representation of a Christmas “flavor”. It has distinct notes of cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg, all mixed into frothy milk and ristretto shots of espresso.
Collegiettes, hold on tight during these last couple of weeks before the end of the semester and treat yo’ self to delicious coffees and teas.
