It's the most wonderful time of the year at Universal Orlando Resort! Sure, there are lights on Hogwarts Castle and the Macy's holiday parade, but we're most excited about its epic holiday cocktail (and mocktail) menu. From a dessert-inspired Apple Pie on the Rocks to a Cranberry Margarita, these festive libations could warm even the Grinch's heart. And just in case you're not a big drinker or not 21 yet, Universal's got you covered with some delicious nonalcoholic options, too, including Frozen Eggnog and the return of the beloved hot Butterbeer. Just imagine sipping on one of those while strolling through Hogsmeade. Pretty perfect, right? Keep reading to see its holiday drink offerings this year, and get ready to feel festive (and a little fuzzy, depending on which one you go for!).

Frozen Candy Cane, Frozen Eggnog, and Jack Frost
These frosty treats are just the thing to cool you down when the Florida temperatures rise (yes, even in Winter). Available throughout the Production Central area near the Universal Studios entrance, you'll find the Frozen Candy Cane and Frozen Eggnog, both non-alcoholic and highly Instagrammable. If you're looking to get into the holiday spirt with some, well, spirits, the Jack Frost will warm your heart in the most delicious way as it's made with vodka, prosecco, and lemonade and topped with a sugar rim.

Hot Butterbeer
We know people have some very strong opinions about how Butterbeer should be served, and we're strongly in the camp that the holidays call for hot Butterbeer. You can pick up this bewitching seasonal refreshment with flavors of shortbread and butterscotch at various locations inside the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

Apple Pie on the Rocks and Cranberry Margarita
These festive cocktails add a unique holiday spin to the classics. The Apple Pie on the Rocks is basically dessert in a glass, made with vanilla vodka, apple juice, and cinnamon (more whipped cream, please!), and the Cranberry Margarita is Santa's answer to the traditional beachside favorite. It's made with tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and cranberry juice shaken, and comes complete with a lime wedge and cherry on top.

Mistletoe Cocktail
If you're on the hunt for someone to cuddle up with, this Mistletoe Cocktail is looking mighty fine. Find it at the Rising Star bar and karaoke club at Universal City Walk.
