Which Holiday Drink Do Colorado Residents Prefer?
When it comes to holiday drinks, it seems like Colorado natives have their minds made up, with eggnog scoring a decisive victory this Christmas, while the mulled cider drink known as wassail was second, beating out the three-headed mix of mulled wine, hot toddies, and peppermint mochas.
In total, wassail scored five search interest points in Colorado, while the other three holiday drinks notched search interest totals of four points apiece to round out the Rocky Mountain State’s list of top festive drinks this Christmas season.
At the end of the day, no drink held the type of sway that eggnog did, with the custard concoction that dates back to the late 19th century scoring a decisive victory when it came to Colorado’s top holiday drinks in the year of our lord 2024.
