Holiday perfection doesn’t always look like a packed party calendar. Sometimes, it’s a quiet night in, a favourite holiday movie and a drink that feels just as sparkling as the occasion.
Hallmark leading man Andrew Walker brings that mood off-screen with a lineup of holiday mocktails inspired by his background as a former juice bar owner and his love for cranberry — the bright, tart flavour that’s the taste of the holidays.
For an easy touch of celebration, Andrew uses Ocean Spray’s sparkling cranberry juices in flavours like cran-mango, cran-peach, and cran-pomegranate. The bubbly blends add a celebratory vibe, making mocktail prep feel elevated despite its simplicity.
Serve it with citrus or warm spices, or add a spirited splash — Andrew got you started with four holiday sips are destined to be your new holiday ritual.
