The tree is up, the lights are on, and the kettle (or corkscrew) is out. When it comes to seasonal sipping, which drink genuinely captures the spirit of a British Christmas for you?
Put the items in your preferred order.

Mulled Wine
Warm red wine spiced with cinnamon, cloves and orange peel. One sniff and you're back at Winter Wonderland with cold fingers and a paper cup.

Baileys Over Ice
Creamy, sweet and quietly lethal after the third top-up. The unofficial drink of Boxing Day afternoons in front of a film nobody's really watching.

Buck's Fizz on Christmas Morning
Orange juice and cheap fizz somehow becomes classy the moment presents are involved. A quintessentially British way to justify booze before 10am.

Port with the Cheese Board
Rich, ruby and passed to the left, ideally next to a wedge of Stilton and a cracker no one has the energy to pull. The proper end to Christmas dinner.

Snowball (Advocaat and Lemonade)
That curious yellow concoction lurking in the back of the drinks cabinet since 1987. Retro, divisive, and oddly comforting once you commit.
