As I am sitting here watching the snow come down, I am thinking the same thing!

To one mug of hot chocolate, add 2 oz. of peppermint schnapps. Top with whipped cream. Enjoy!

That does sound good!  I'll add it to the poll and make it so that folks can change their votes if they feel like it.

Thanks for the suggestion Leslie! :)

Kelda:
Yes the peppermint paddy does sound good.

Over hear we have the egg nog, gingerbed, toffeenut and creme brulee falvours - no pumpkin.. sounds fun though!

I have to say I just had large gingerbread one as I got to bed about 90mins later than usual last night (and i go to bed late anyway) and I felt a little tired - and now I feel a bit jittery!

serious crayons:
Yes, I love those gingerbread and pumpkin lattes! This is pretty much the only time of year when I indulge in lattes, because I love those flavors. (Though I tried an eggnog latte once, and thought it was pretty bad.)

Here's a drink I invented myself, called the Candy Cane. It's not hot, but since we're discussing seasonal minty beverages: vodka and creme de menthe. If you wanted to be really festive, you could put a small candy cane in it as a garnish. (It was inspired by the stinger, which is brandy and creme de menthe, but I like the vodka version better, because it's more purely fresh and minty. You could practically use it as mouthwash!)

Re mulled wine: If you're having a holiday party, it is a really good thing to serve, because it's festive but inespensive, because you can use cheap wine. I made it once for a NY Eve party. I had some champagne, but I couldn't afford to serve champagne to all those people all night long, so I brewed up a big kettle of mulled wine.

(In summer, BTW, the same goes for sangria.)

Brown Eyes:
I think one of the nicest things about making a big pot of mulled wine (or mulled cider) for a party is the way it makes the house smell!  So nice!
:)

I think I'm going to go out to Starbucks right now and get a latte!  These threads make me really crave all the things we're discussing!  For instance, I've already consumed way more egg nog this season than I normally would have by early Dec.  But, I've got no resistance at the moment since it's such a hot topic around here currently...
