Hello folks – how are you doing? I hope this week has been treating you well. Also, I hope you are excite about the holiday season in case you are celebrating it.
But if you are dreaming of a White Christmas, then you probably do not reside in Nova Scotia, Canada. Statistically, December is quite warm and wet month. We have been living here for 6 years+, and I do not recall many times we had a white Christmas. Before or after the holiday break? Yes, sure. Exactly during the holiday? Not really.
We are not expecting any snow this year, either (I mean, it always can change). That is why I have made this decadent White Christmas Cocktail instead to enjoy during the holiday!
White Christmas Cocktail
White Christmas Cocktail is a simple but rich cocktail which is made of vodka (or vanilla vodka), white chocolate (or light crème de cacao), and vanilla seeds. If you have vanilla vodka, please go ahead and use it. I would still suggest adding some vanilla seeds as they are super fragrant and will add the sweetness. You will also need white chocolate liqueur or light (white) crème de cacao. Please do not use dark crème de cacao otherwise the colour of your drink will not be white-ish. And if you do not like vodka, then you can use light rum.
If you like the sweet and decadent recipes just like this one, please be sure to also check this Brandy Alexander, White Chocolate Martini, and White Chocolate Cocktail.
I hope you like this White Christmas Cocktail, and you will give it a try. If you make it, let me know in this post or send me an Instagram message or share you photos adding the hashtag #havocinthekitchen.
Cheers!

I love the idea of a White Christmas Cocktail bringing the holiday spirit even if the snow isn’t! Your description of its luscious sweetness and fragrant vanilla sounds absolutely delightful. Plus, the versatility of using vodka, rum, or white chocolate liqueur makes it adaptable to different preferences.
Another dessert in a glass! Really clever Ben.

It’s been a bit of a warm December, so far.. so no white Christmas for us — will have to rectify that with this cocktail! Looks so creamy and indulgent!
This looks so dreamy and festive! Ditto what Liz said, it’s a truly perfect holiday drink, Ben.
