If your calendar isn&#8217;t jam-packed with parties and get-togethers, you&#8217;re likely planning your own celebrations. Beyond the cheer, family, friends, and inevitable stress, the one thing that ties the festivities together is the food and drinks. From Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie to Christmas cookies and brunch, food gets a lot of attention. But what are the most popular holiday drinks? <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-Most-Popular-Festive-Drinks-in-the-U.S.-for-the-2025-Holiday-Season-PDF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.coffeeness.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/The-Most-Popular-Festive-Drinks-in-the-U.S.-for-the-2025-Holiday-Season-PDF.pdf\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"study\" data-node-id=\"3.1\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">study<\/a> by Coffeeness analyzed a year&#8217;s worth of Google Trends search data to identify each state&#8217;s top seasonal drinks. The results reveal national favorites, along with regional leanings, and a few outliers. Some of them are pretty surprising. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-13\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\">\n<div class=\"css-p7qblm e1mlxuuw0\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"most popular festive drinks every state\" title=\"most popular festive drinks every state\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1756\" height=\"1094\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/festive-holiday-drinks-693036ad6038e.png?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" data-dynamic-svg=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/_assets\/design-tokens\/fre\/static\/icons\/social\/pinterest.e8cf655.svg?primary=%2523ffffff\" loading=\"lazy\" data-testid=\"dynamic-svg-base\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" alt=\"pinterest\" class=\"css-4lml0h e1mlxuuw1\"\/><\/div>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-10bgxwr e1geg53v2\">Coffeeness<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">To no surprise, hot chocolate takes first place across 13 states. Tied for second, each leading in 11 states, are apple cider and the espresso martini. Most of the states searching for hot chocolate and apple cider are in the northern, cooler regions. Espresso martinis show up across the country, with a particular Midwest concentration in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-14\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Next on the list: the French 75 and Amaretto Sour, each topping searches in four states\u2014a big drop from those at the top. They&#8217;re followed by mimosas and brown sugar shaken espresso, each most popular in two states. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">So, what&#8217;s at the bottom of the list? The hot toddy\u2014bourbon, honey, and lemon juice\u2014lands as a favorite in just one state. (Minnesota gets <em data-node-id=\"8.5\">pretty<\/em> cold in the winter, so that makes sense.) And while the Aperol Spritz is a refreshing summertime drink, it landed on the list. with the winter version as Tennessee&#8217;s pick for the most popular festive drink. Our holiday version is the Cranberry-Aperol Spritz, which adds cranberry juice and is garnished with cranberries and rosemary. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-15\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\">\n<div data-theme-key=\"carousel-container\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" role=\"region\" aria-live=\"off\" aria-labelledby=\"PP0-15-0\" class=\"css-vzlvvm e1kgjrvy4\">\n<p><h2 id=\"PP0-15-0\" data-theme-key=\"carousel-hed\" class=\"css-4i2xvz e1kgjrvy5\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/>Holiday Drink Recipes To Try<span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The holidays are packed with seasonal food and drink, from large meals to sweet treats and cocktails.
