1. Cranberry Fizz
The Cranberry Fizz is a personal favorite of mine. This Christmas Cranberry Cocktail combines the sparkly fizz of champagne with the tartness of cranberry juice, creating a festive twist on the classic mimosa.

Serve with this delicious baked camembert cheese for the ultimate feast.

The easy Champagne Margarita combines the zesty lime goodness of a margarita with the bubbly fizz of champagne—an ideal choice for festive occasions.
7. Frosé Champagne Float
When it comes to fancy and celebratory holiday cocktails, Frosé Champagne Floats reign supreme. These exquisite libations feature blended, fruity Frosé floating in a coupe of champagne garnished with sugared cranberries. As delightful to sip as they are lovely to behold, they pair perfectly with savory appetizers. I love champagne cocktails served in coupe glasses; they just look so elegant. Sparklers are optional, but fun!

Christmas Champagne Drinks FAQ
The fizziness of champagne pairs very well with different kinds of fresh fruit juices or even pureed fruits for funky cocktails. You can add liquors like gin, vodka, or even brandy to give your Christmas Champagne drinks a kick of flavor and added texture.
Champagne should always be served chilled, so keep champagne in the fridge or on ice until you are ready to serve.
It is best to serve champagne cocktails immediately. For cocktails involving other ingredients, they can be prepared in advance, and the champagne added at the last minute before serving.
