Get the party started this holiday season with this collection of the best, super easy to prepare Christmas mocktails! Whether you’re the designated driver, have a little one on the way, or just want to keep a clear head for the festivities, these non-alcoholic drinks are fun and delicious. They’re also perfect for kids, and can easily be scaled to serve to a crowd. Let’s jump straight in… 

1. Jack Frost Mocktail

This sweet cocktail looks like a winter wonderland in a glass, and it tastes just as good as it looks! The combination of coconut, pineapple, and non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup creates a vibrant, fun drink that’s perfect for your holiday parties. A tip for achieving that frosted look: wet the rim of the glass with a little coconut cream or lime juice, then place the glass upside down on to a shallow plate with shredded coconut. Move the glass in a circular motion, and you’re good to go and add whipped cream and then sprinkle with more coconut! 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/4 cup blue curaçao syrup (non-alcoholic)
• Ice
• Shredded coconut and whipped cream for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine coconut cream, pineapple juice, and blue curaçao syrup with ice. Blend until smooth.
2. Pour into glasses and garnish with shredded coconut and whipped cream.

2. Non-Alcoholic Christmas Punch

This festive punch is bursting with flavor and it’s perfect for a crowd. With cranberry juice, ginger ale, and a splash of citrus, it’s the ultimate party refresher! It’s fizzy, fun, and festive, and it really couldn’t be any easier to prepare. 

Serves: 8

Ingredients:

• 4 cups cranberry juice
• 2 cups ginger ale
• 1 cup orange juice
• Sliced oranges and cranberries for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a large punch bowl, combine cranberry juice, ginger ale, and orange juice.
2. Add ice and garnish with sliced oranges and cranberries. Serve in glasses. 

3. Candy Cane Christmas Mocktail

If you love the flavors of peppermint, this refreshing mocktail is one you need to try! My top tip for this one is that if you want to achieve that appealing green color, look out for a peppermint syrup with a deep hue. The color can vary quite a lot from one brand to another, with some being almost white instead of green. Of course, it makes no difference to the taste, so you can still create delicious results with either! 

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 cup peppermint syrup
• 2 cups club soda
• Crushed candy canes for rimming
• Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Instructions:

1. Rim glasses with peppermint syrup and dip into crushed candy canes.
2. In a shaker, combine peppermint syrup and club soda. Pour into glasses with ice and top with whipped cream if desired.

4. Apple Cider Mule

A festive twist on the classic mule, this drink combines the warmth of apple cider with the zing of ginger beer for a refreshing winter sipper. An important note: in the United States and Canada, ‘apple cider’ typically refers to a non-alcoholic drink made from apples. In the UK though, the term refers to an alcoholic drink. As this is a mocktail, I’m referring to the alcohol free variety – if you’re in the UK, you can simply use apple juice instead! 

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

• 1 cup apple cider
• 1 cup ginger beer
• Juice of 1 lime
• Apple slices for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a glass, combine apple cider and ginger beer. Add lime juice and ice and stir.
2. Garnish with apple slices, and serve chilled.
