The last few months of the year do give us all plenty of other great reasons to celebrate the holidays, so embrace the opportunities to gather with friends and family, whether it is for Diwali, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Festivus, Christmas, Kwanzaa or New Year’s Eve.
Every great gathering deserves an equally great drink. Try these yummy mocktails all the littles and bigs in your group will love.
The Safety First
Created for us by an award-winning cocktail maker, Will Lee, this citrusy sweet mocktail will bring that special, seasonal bubble to the party. See the intense ‘competition’ between Will and Sienna Lee, the cutest dad and daughter duo ever, in the video above.

Chocolate Milk Mocktail
How can kids say no to chocolate milk? They can even help mixing the chocolate sauce and milk in a large martini shaker. Instead of chocolate shavings to garnish, try some fun, seasonal sprinkles.

Pomegranate Sparklers
