Hot chocolate if it isn't about alcohol.
Mistela (vin de liqueur in French) if it's about alcohol.

I don't have a favorite drink in the holiday, but I do take the opportunity every time to make others taste my favorite original cocktail : the Williams Special™

It's pear juice and martini white. Simple, yet delicious (if proportionned correctly. Otherwise the martini takes over)

Yes to hot chocolate and eggnog! The two drinks I am most likely to drink in winters days like the next weeks going to be! :D

Too bad eggnog generally stops selling in the supermarket after Mew Years…

Well, that is without taking the quickly deleted single-letter posts and double posts into consideration :oops2:

Oh those were not screw ups, I purposely did that so I could get my response in before you, Mr. “King of Ninja”. So now you know, congratulations! :mrgreen:

I think I’ve come to the point where my regular order from my sister’s favorite tea shop is either a strawberry black tea, honey apple green tea, frozen mocha, hot chocolate, or a nut milk tea.

I went to Chinatown and I saw these drinks, I bought both of them to try them out!
I didn't try the watermelon one but the peach-flavoured one is now my favourite variant of Fanta! :D

EDIT: oops, for some reason the preview of the image is rotated, maybe the image is corrupted..?

Hmm I can't wait to try it then! :D
I remember in the same store I saw an apple-flavoured one but I couldn't find it last time I went there but I found these 2 instead.
Mango is also one of my favourite fruits ever, when I was in Austria I saw mango-flavoured Fanta was a thing and I drank lots of it :lol:
I don't drink it for years so I forgot how good it tasted :(

Never heard of it, what's different compared to the versions sold in the US and Europe?

It tastes much more like orange, it probably has more sugar as well though but I enjoy it a lot more than regular fanta. If I had to choose between a regular fanta and a sprite I'd choose sprite 100% of the time personally. I just don't think the orange flavor is very strong in the regular one.

Fanta has become more acidic over the years, I understand this is due to regulations regarding the amount of sugar that can be added to the recipe. It's always said that in the United States they are less restrictive in this respect, but it's interesting to know there's an even sweeter version.

I haven't seen it as I'm younger, but here we had a drink similar to Fanta that was called Mirinda. Logically, Fanta ended up dominating the market, but it seems Mirinda is still sold in Africa and the Canary Islands.
