Wassail! Started making it when 2 of the daughters were involved in Madrigals in high school.

1 gallon apple cider (or apple juice)
1 quart cranberry juice
1/4 cup red hots or more to taste
1 orange cut in quarters
1 - 4 inch cinnamon stick
2 tsp. whole cloves
2 tsp. whole alllspice

Tie spices in cheesecloth or use a tea ball. Put all ingredients in large pot or a coffee maker and heat. Stir often till red hots are dissolved.
You can add sugar if you want it to be sweet.

Try warming up a Dr Pepper....we did this years ago when girls were small and enjoyed it. Float a slice of orange or lime in it..

Hot cider with a cinnamon stick.

I am a coffee and tea drinker - so I would suggest a variety of different teas. And I am also very fond of hot chocolate - but try to stay away from drinking that much sugar.

Chai Tea Lattes, Hot Chocolate, and Hot Cider are my go-to hot drinks when it's cold outside.

Hills Bros. Cappuccino, either White Chocolate Caramel, Double Mocha or English Toffee with a really nice squirt of Redi-Whip. Actually, I am giving them as Christmas gifts (three each to my sister and granddaughter). It is so warm and cozy.

We always called it Russian tea. It's instant tea, Tang, lemonade, and some spices. I would have to look up the recipe to be sure.

Hot chai tea with milk!

A DIFFERENT VERSION

WASSAIL

1 gallon apple juice or cider ( I use cider)
1 quart plus 1 cup orange juice
1 quart pineapple juice
1 cup sugar
4 sticks of cinnamon
24 whole cloves

Bring all ingredients to a boil...simmer for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Can refrigerate and reheat. Can be frozen.

(Fills my 8 quart soup kettle to the brim.) Kids love it.

Oh, yes, this is good. It can also be called, "Friendship Tea" when looking for recipes.

Hot Chocolate with lots of marshmallows.

mulled cider is easy, and can go in a large coffee urn for ease--1 gal apple juice or cider, 1 orange, cut into quarters--i stick whole cloves into the skin--about four or five per quarter, two-four cinnamon sticks, and added sugar, to taste. (it doesn't take much.) heat on stove, adjust "taste" to your preference--simmer for an hour, and transfer into large coffee urn for serving and keeping warm. you could also use a crock pot and ladle for serving it, as well. the orange and spices can be left in to enhance the flavor, or taken out if you're satisfied with the mulling.
