While we may not be able to transport you to Hogwarts for Christmas (sorry!), we can add a little of that Harry Potter magic to your menu with drinks from Winter Cocktails. This amazing collection of beautifully illustrated winter drinks has something for every occasion, whether you want to imagine yourself tucked up in the common room, celebrating with friends at the Three Broomsticks, or getting your very own knitted jumper at the Burrow on Christmas Day.

The ninth season of the rebooted Doctor Who may have come to a close earlier this month, but there’s still one episode to look forward to: the annual Christmas Special! This year will find Peter Capaldi’s Twelfth Doctor and his wife River Song reunited for a holiday adventure with plenty of snowy scenes, Christmas carols and Antlers. A week later, Sherlock fans get a new episode as well (after a two-year wait!), as John and Sherlock find themselves in 1890’s London for a Victorian holiday special airing on January 1^st.

With these two incredible specials on the horizon, what’s a fan to do? Gather all your nerdy friends and celebrate amazing British television with a WhoLock Holiday party… or two! Here's how:

The holidays can be overwhelming for the young drinker. From the requisite time spent with family to the long dark nights and the endless Christmas carols in every single department store, deciding which drink you desperately need at the end of the day can be a challenge. But, hey! Everyone likes Bill Murray, right? So why not mix America’s real sweetheart with the perfect drink to match? We at Quirk have your back, pairing five of Murray’s best movies with their ideal alcoholic counterpart from our book, Winter Cocktails.
