Hot or energy drinks are very popular in December, especially in places where winters are cold and hard. Mixing certain ingredients in beverages can provide heat, power and great vitality in the body, which is why a few drinks have become a tradition in many places at Christmas and New Year holidays, a way to bring warmth and energy and enjoy the winter days.

    What an interesting article, I just loved reading through the different ways that countries celebrate the holidays. Isn't it so interesting how much culture plays such a huge role in each of our lives, and how diverse so many cultures are. I lived in Argentina for quite some time, but never had the spiced rum. I think it's time to try it!!
