It’s ok to feel overwhelmed this time of year. There are so many things taking your time and energy! So let me help you with the shots.
I curated the best shots that fit in with any Christmas party, no matter what the theme is. They range from really simple to incredibly impressive. Make your favorite ones and get the party started!
Best Liquor For Christmas
There isn’t actually a type of holiday that most people drink at Christmas. It isn’t the liquor that makes them Christmas-themed; it’s how they are served and garnished.
Most of the Christmas party shots in this roundup have fruity flavors, so you’ll see a lot of drink recipes made with rum or vodka. The creamier shots are made with a cream liquor (like Rumchata or Bailey’s). And then you’ll find a few drinks made with whiskey, too.
One of the best things about these shot recipes is that you can change them in a bunch of different ways.

Christmas Party Shot Supplies
What kinds of supplies will you need before you make the Christmas shots? That all depends on which ones you make.
First, you’ll need some shot glasses. If you want to do a bunch of dishes, then use some glass ones. But I prefer to use plastic ones. Buy condiment cups – they come with lids and you can make a bunch of jello shots ahead of time.
Other than that, you’ll also need a piping bag if you want to pipe whipped cream in a decorative way. And get some cocktail toothpicks so you can garnish them.
You could also buy a Christmas-themed serving tray for the shots. Or set them out on a cupcake stand.
Be creative and have fun with it! All of these party shots will show off perfectly, so you don’t have to spend a lot on the table decor!
