🎉 Introduction
Nothing captures the cozy, magical feeling of the holidays quite like the smell of warm cookies. The Christmas Cookie Cocktail is usually a creamy alcoholic drink flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar — but in this version, we transform it into a 100% alcohol-free Christmas Cookie Mocktail that tastes just as indulgent, festive, and delicious.
This mocktail is rich, velvety, and dessert-like, blending vanilla, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, white chocolate, and a touch of almond to recreate the flavor of freshly baked holiday cookies. It’s warm, comforting, and perfect for Christmas Eve, winter gatherings, cookie parties, December movie nights, or as a sweet holiday drink to enjoy with family.
Served over ice or warmed like a latte, topped with whipped cream, cookie crumbs, cinnamon, and a holiday sprinkle of magic — this mocktail looks like a Christmas dream and tastes even better. Let’s create a cozy holiday drink that feels like biting into a soft Christmas sugar cookie.
