‘Tis the season to get holiday drinks!  For those of you who are ready to celebrate the holidays but don’t like coffee, here are some great non-coffee options.

1. Gingerbread Tea Latte (available at Starbucks)

This spicy drink is made with Teavana Royal English Breakfast tea and cinnamon spice.  It’s also the newest holiday drink at Starbucks.

2. Caramel Apple Spice (available at Starbucks)

Yes, it’s a “kid’s drink” at Starbucks, but this fruity holiday drink will please customers of all ages.

3. Peppermint Hot Chocolate (available at both Starbucks and Coffee Bean)

This one is just a childhood favorite and a Christmas classic in one delicious package.

4. Red Velvet Hot Cocoa (available at Coffee Bean)

The classic hot chocolate is now available with a red velvet twist.

5. Winter Dream Tea & Winter Dream Tea Lattes (available at Coffee Bean)

With sugar, spice, and everything nice, the name of this drink fits itself perfectly. They’re available in both tea and latte form.

6. Holiday Cranberry Punch (recipe available here)

This fruity red drink will look and taste great at your next holiday get-together.

7. Apple Sparkler (recipe available here)

This mix is a great non-coffee and non-alcoholic option for a New Year’s party.
