For the mulled wine: Add the wine (750 ml), cider (250 ml), vanilla extract (1 1/2 tsp), brown sugar (1 tbsp), 1/3 of the cinnamon sticks (3), star anise (2), cloves (1 tsp), lemon slices (2) and half the orange slices (1) to a large saucepan over a medium heat. Simmer for ten minutes – careful not to boil.

Carefully pour into glasses of your choice. Thread the cranberries (18) onto 6 cocktail sticks, then place in the glasses and garnish with the remaining orange slices (1), rosemary (6 sprigs) and cinnamon sticks (6) (one per glass).
step 3
For the boozy hot chocolate: Heat the milk (1.5 L) in a pan with the hot chocolate powder (6 tbsp) and cream liqueur (300 ml) for a few minutes until it is steaming.
step 4
Pour the hot chocolate into mugs of your choice and top with as much whipped cream (as needed) as you’d like. Dust over some extra hot chocolate powder and add a mini shortbread Christmas tree (as needed) to the top.
