Big Bar has created two movie-inspired cocktail kits dedicated to Christmas classics, Die Hard and Home Alone. The action movie kit showcases a Nakatomi Plaza Holiday ‘88 Punch made with gin, rose petals syrup, and champagne as well as paraphernalia inspired by the movie such as a mini toy gun taped to the back of the bottle with Christmas tape. Home Alone’s cocktail is Les Incompétents, a sparkling gin and elderflower cocktail, and is packed with fun goodies like an ornament flask and paint can drinking vessels.

Cozy up or chill out with the selection of large-format winter drinks ($40) on Conservatory’s “Tis the Season” cocktail menu. The hot cocktail carafe options include a hot chocolate tequila Winter Wonderland and a rummy apple cider Rum Pum Pum Toddy. Or enjoy the temperate winter weather with a daydrink-friendly Holiday Rose Sangria with persimmons, Asian pear, Fuji apple and pomegranate seeds.

The Melrose Avenue bar is packing up all the fixings to fuel festivities: kits ($40-$55) for mulled wine, hot toddies and eggnog with holiday cookies. But the standout has got to be the Old Fashioned Ornament Trio ($32), with a traditional Old Fashioned, a high-proof one, and a Festivus version with winter chai cordial and tiki bitters. Definitely the perfect host gift... for yourself.

Big Dave’s Famous Eggnog, from a Lentz family recipe that’s been guarded for three generations, was originally available at Chef David Lentz’s Hungry Cat. But it’s now making its return thanks to AOC, where it can be ordered for takeout or delivery (32 ounces for $42, 16 ounces for $24) til New Year’s Eve. Or for a holiday cocktail with some bite, there’s Rudolph’s Red Negroni, one of former AOC barman Christiaan Rollich’s last creations and featuring his holiday bitters — cinnamon, cloves, wormwood root, lavender, gentian root, and Angelica root allspice.

Thunderbolt’s canned cocktails may read more wintry than actual holiday, but they’re so fun and unique, making them ideal for that special occasion. There’s a “Shamp-pagne” grape soda cocktail that drinks like champagne and the Spruce cocktail, made with spruce tips syrup, is a Christmas tree forest in a glass.

Barman Vay Su has been gaining a following thanks to his work as Republique lead bartender and his local and national cocktail competition wins. For his cocktail delivery service, Bear & Stone, Su collaborates with some of the best L.A. bartenders such as Republique’s Shawn Lickliter and Hippo’s Clare Ward to create quality cocktails-to-go. The current seasonal menu includes a traditional eggnog, a vegan eggnog, a spiced cranberry vodka cocktail, and an apple mulled milk punch. But a must-do is that matcha eggnog. Why matcha? “I just had one and it was super delicious,” says Su.

This Arts District bar is going all out for the holidays. The 10 cocktails are a diverse selection of everything from a traditional eggnog to Eight Crazy Nights Lucky Charms clarified milk punch to a winter wonderland-fresh martini. Pick up an individual ready-to-drink serving or cocktail kits with bottles of spirit and mixers. The glassware (that cute Santa head mug!) is included in the kits.

From December 10 to 17, Akasha is presenting Hanukkah dinner takeout with appetizers, entrees, sides, and a Hanukkah cookie box. There are also four different 12-ounce bottles (two to three servings for $25) of vodka cocktails such as the “Light the Menorah” with lavender blue lemonade and lavender sugar.

Mar Vista’s Little Fatty is doing up fun, holiday versions of classic cocktails, such as a mulled wine gin old fashioned and a spicy gingerbread sidecar with gingerbread syrup, habañero bitters, and Chinese five spice. The 8-ounce bottles (about two servings) are $25 each.

End the year on a high note with a truffle eggnog crafted by cocktail innovator and bar chef Matthew Biancaniello. He’s taking orders for his unique eggnog offerings ($100-$125 for 750ml), which include a curried amaro eggnog, Ogo seaweed bourbon eggnog, and a chocolate eggnog. But the big splurge is his eggnog with black truffle-infused mezcal and white truffle-infused cream. “It has the smokiness of mezcal, with a sweet, creamy middle with a bright truffle finish,” according to Biancaniello. But it costs $250 for the 750ml. It’s available for pickup in Playa Vista or delivery in L.A. for $20. And, no, it doesn’t come with that emu egg.

Wintry ingredients are spotlighted in Love & Salt’s holiday cocktails: a Seasons Change tequila and chocolate persimmon cocktail and a #Gratefulfortheholidays mezcal and pomegranate drink. But for those antsy for the end of 2020, there’s a “2021” gin cocktail with grapefruit and Chardonnay and an “After Midnight” bourbon cocktail with pumpkin puree and maple syrup. The cocktails are $30 for 16 ounces (three servings).
