Over the holidays, families try to find the latest and most original decorations that they can in order to spice up their holiday traditions. A simple and flavorful way to spice up the holidays for guests is by updating mugs, using eggnog glasses, and incorporating fancy straws.

There are dozens of local places to get updated, Christmas-themed mugs. During the holidays, mugs are used for more then casual coffee, they are used for decorating the kitchen, sipping home made drinks and accessorizing a good meal. When pictures are being taken of the kids, adults are carrying the mug that was handed to them, do not let that mug be outdated!

Eggnog is something everyone in the family can enjoy this season, normally someone would just pour it in a old cup and call it good. But if this eggnog is to be great, eggnog glasses are a must. Eggnog is best served cold, an eggnog glass will hold in the fresh, cold flavor for guests which means that the only thing to do is put a dash of cinnamon on top and stir with a cinnamon stick!

The use of a simple straw can change a the way a drink looks, but Plantations candies and Got Milk co. have taken it a step farther. They provide the chance to turn an ordinary glass of milk into a joyful Christmas or New Years experience in a glass. Chocolate/vanilla/strawberry/mint flavored, twisty, edible, colorful and desolvable straws combined with milk, eggnog or ginger ale, can definitely spice up Christmas or New Years!
