‘Tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry! While a spiked cup of hot chocolate might be just what you need after a sit-down dinner with the inlaws, no one wants to wake up the next morning feeling the way Santa does on December 26th.
For those who prefer to skip the booze this season, these festive mocktail recipes from Town & Country have the same amount of Christmas spirit (without the actual spirits).
