If there’s one thing we *love* about the holidays, it’s that it’s now ~officially~ appropriate to indulge in our fave seasonal foods and drinks. Let’s be honest: By late October, we’re all hardcore craving some good, wintry holiday cocktails. Sure, you can technically drink eggnog any time of the year that you damn well please, but it’s just not the same unless you’re in front of a roaring open fire (or, like, a battle-worn but trusty Target space heater).
