"Have a holly, jolly Christmas! It's the best time of the year! I don't know when there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer..."
The temperature is indeed dropping, which means the tea pot is ever boiling at my house. Whether it be for hot cocoa or a lovely cup of tea, the kettles has been singing it's, "I'm ready!" tune rather frequently of late. My recent efforts to drink less coffee also contributes towards that end. So, I wanted to share with you some of my favorite holiday teas!
One of my all time favorites is Celestial Seasonings' Candy Cane Lane tea.

One of my all time favorites is Celestial Seasonings' Candy Cane Lane tea.
"This delectable holiday blend starts with naturally decaffeinated green tea and adds unmistakable seasonal flavors like cool peppermint, creamy vanilla and a dash of cinnamon. Candy canes have been cherished symbols of holiday spirit for centuries, and Candy Cane Lane® is sure to become a festive and healthy tradition at your celebrations!"
—Charlie Baden, Celestial Seasonings Blendmaster
What I can tell you is that the "cool peppermint" is truly cooling - great for sore throats! It is akin (although not as powerful) as that minty fresh feeling you get from chewing gum! The vanilla and cinnamon compliment the green and mint teas nicely and do not overpower. It is a delicious and soothing tea, perfect for morning, noon, or night!
When you're in the mood for something a bit more robust, Celestial Seasonings' Gingerbread Spice Tea hits the spot!
"Stepping into a cozy kitchen warmed by the spicy aroma of freshly baked gingerbread — what a wonderful way to thaw a frosty winter chill! This handcrafted blend is a nostalgic medley of ginger, cinnamon and other time-honored ingredients. Because it's naturally caffeine free, you can indulge in this unmistakably merry tea any time!"
—Charlie Baden, Celestial Seasonings Blendmaster
The blendmaster says it right. The aroma from this tea is alluring and cozy. If you don't happen to have any holiday cookies handy, this tea is the next best thing. Better yet, it is a great accompaniment to those holiday cookies! I like to drink mine with a little bit of sugar and a swirl of whipped cream. Mmmmm.....
Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride runs in a similar vein; it legitmately tastes just like a Christmas cookie! Unbelievably delicious!!
"This cheerful holiday blend will warm your heart with the inviting aroma and delightfully simple taste of freshly baked sugar cookies straight from the oven. Like all of our teas, Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride has no refined sweeteners or added sugars — giving you a guilt-free way to partake freely in the pleasures of the season."
—Charlie Baden, Celestial Seasonings Blendmaster
Celestial Seasonings has two other holiday teas I have yet to try - Nutcracker Sweet & Sugar Plum Spice.

I'll have to pick those up and give them a try next time I am out at the store. I can only imagine how delightful they must be!
What are your favorite holiday beverages? Do tell!
My mother-in-law recently purchased a slow cooker cookbook that included drink recipes. Many of them seemed tantalizing to the taste buds. I have yet to try any of those concoctions but will let you know if I do. Happy sipping everyone!
