The snickerdoodle chai latte was the star of this seasonal menu for me, but with five drinks to choose from, there’s something for everyone. We might also recommend the eggnog chai latte — for the rest of this month a portion of the sales will go to Opportunity Village.

This themed popup cocktail bar is the place to go if you are looking for Christmas inspired alcoholic beverages. The Snowball Old-Fashioned, with gingerbread, and the Elfing Around 2, with a mulled wine reduction, caught our eye. Served in festive mugs and glasses, too.

For a limited time, A Gäbi Winter Wonderland will feature an eggnog latte and a mint chocolate drink, both served hot or iced.

The Sand Dollar welcomes back the Sippin’ Santa Christmas cocktail popup this month. One of the ingredients in the Jingle Bird is “jingle mix” — don’t tell us you’re not intrigued! The Ho Ho Hot Buttered Rum, with spiced honey butter, is also on our nice list.

This North Las Vegas coffee shop has a white chocolate peppermint syrup called the candied peppermint that you can add to any latte, mocha, smoothie, or cold brew.

The famous holiday nog is back for the 21st year. Enjoy it at the property for $10 a glass or bring a bottle home with you for $40. Available until Ellis Island is nogless — so dash away soon!

  • Old school noggin’: Fans of classic Las Vegas can get their eggnog in boozy fashion, in the Peppermill’s eggnog cocktail, or in frozen-custard form at longtime local fave Luv-it.
