10 Holiday Mimosas for Christmas Brunch

You know what goes great with mornings? Mimosas! I am a biggg mimosa girl and I love myself a holiday themed mimosa. I drank my fair share of apple cider mimosas this fall and excited that I found so many Christmas mimosas I had to share!

All of these mimosa recipes are perfect for your Christmas brunch, cookie exchange, or just any weekend in December! I personally don’t think you need an occasion in order to have a mimosa, so you can definitely find me trying each one of these bubbly drinks!
