Coffee! I love coffee with flavored creamers (had a great one tonight it was mint chocolate truffle!) We also have alot of hot cocoa this time of the year (I like to make mine on the stove top with Hersheys cocoa powder, sugar, a pinch of salt, and Carnation Evaporated milk- one can milk to one can water). I will then add all kinds of things to this depending on how I feel- I may add candy canes, a bit of vanilla extract, cinnamon, and of course Marshmallows. :)
We also do apple cider ( with cinnamon on top, or a cinnamon stick placed in the cup). I also drink alot of sleepytime tea at night, and peppermint tea. I have also made the girls what I call "Holiday milk"..lol. Its alot like cocoa only no chocolate. I will give them this right before they brush teeth and go off to bed. On the stove I heat up vitamin D milk, add a little vanilla extract, some sugar, and some cinnamon. They love it. :)
