The 7 Best Disney Holiday Drink Recipes for Festive Sips

These drinks are sure to make your spirits bright.

Whether you’re throwing a holiday party or just looking for a warm beverage to curl up with on the couch while you watch The Muppet Christmas Carol, these drink recipes will put you in the festive spirit. Choose from classic cocktails served at the Disney Parks during the holiday season, like the Sugar Cookie Martini and Yule Mule, or one of our own creations inspired by our favorite Christmas movies, like Judy’s Hot Cocoa from Santa Clause.

And, if you want to put yourself in an even jollier mood, pair these drinks with one of our holiday baking recipes!

Tinseltown Tini

The Tinseltown Tini was a staple of Hollywood Studios’ after-hours Jollywood Nights in 2023, and it’s back again in 2024. It’s made with cold brew—preferably Joffree’s, of course—Kahlúa, vodka, and half-and-half and garnished with whipped cream and cocoa powder.

Sugar Cookie Martini

Disney’s Sugar Cookie Martini is also a favorite from Jollywood Nights, but it’s just as simple to make at home if you can’t make it to the Most Magical Place on Earth this holiday season. It simply combines vanilla vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Disaronno, and milk for a sweet, creamy cocktail.

Judy’s Hot Cocoa

Everyone knows how much we love recipes from Disney shows and movies. There’s just something about Ron Stoppable chomping into a Naco or Miley Stewart enjoying her dad’s famous Loco Hot Cocoa that makes us want to do it, too. Judy spent 1,200 years perfecting her recipe in Santa Clause, but ours only takes a few minutes to make. Give it a try for your next Santa Clause movie marathon.

Yule Mule

Not every holiday beverage needs to be super-sweet. The Yule Mule is the perfect balance of cranberry juice, ginger beer, vodka, and lime juice for a delicious cocktail that’s easy to batch for parties. We’re not sure if this cocktail is returning to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar again this year since it wasn’t on the menus in 2023, so now’s the time to make it at home.

Frostbite Martini

Inspired by Jack Frost—or even Elsa—this blue cocktail is the perfect way to warm up on a cold winter’s day. It’s made with vodka, blue Curaçao, limoncello liqueur, sweet and sour mix, and cranberry juice, so it will certainly be warming you from the inside out at a holiday party.

Candy Cane Margarita

Tequila fans never seem to have a holiday cocktail for them, but Dockside Margaritas created this minty marg back in 2022. It features peppermint simple syrup, tequila blanco, lime juice, and cranberry ginger ale or Sprite. It might sound like a strange combo, but, we promise, it works.

Hot Holiday Cider

You can never go wrong with hot apple cider in the wintertime. This batch recipe makes a tart, yet sweet apple cider right in your slow cooker. You can finish it off with a sweet, festive gingerbread syrup or enjoy it as-is, either way you’ll feel like you’re on Main Street in no time.
