Gingerbread Syrup - infuses the drink with a fairy tale of flavors, from spicy ginger to sweet molasses, inviting your senses to a dance of winter wonder.

Sparkling Apple Cider - is like the effervescent laughter of the season, light and crisp, it adds life to our liquid jubilee, ensuring each sip is as lively as a jingle bell's jangle.

Vegan Vanilla Ice Cream - our scoop of creamy delight transforms this drink into a float, harkening back to childhood treats and frosty winter evenings.
