Favorite Christmas holiday drinks state by state: list of favorite Xmas beverages

When the holidays roll around, Americans don’t just deck their halls… they fill their mugs and top up their cocktail glasses. Whether it’s cocoa, coffee or something a little stronger, each state appears to have a clear idea of what belongs under the mistletoe. Using recent search data, Coffeeness has provided a snapshot of the most-loved Christmas drinks across all 50 states. Consider it a nationwide toast to the festive season without the clinking.

Some patterns are crystal clear. Hot chocolate reigns where winters bite hardest, apple cider flows freely in orchard country, and the espresso martini suggests that staying awake for the party is sometimes the priority. Eggnog, would you believe, is nowhere to be found.
