Happy Holidays party peeps! Christmas is right around the corner and if you’re like me you are planning Christmas Dinner for your family and friends or hosting a holiday party. I’d love to share with you today how I Celebrate The Holidays with 7UP® Mocktail Drinks that not only look amazing but taste even better! I serve 2 signature non-alcoholic drinks at my house during the holidays as we don’t drink alcohol so I came up with these 2 drinks so that we can enjoy a special drink on this special day. The best part is the kids can enjoy them too and actually REALLY look forward to being allowed to drink these “FIZZY” drinks from “FANCY” glasses as my daughter likes to say!
As a party planner, I go the extra mile and actually decorate the glasses too to match the theme of the drink! How cute are they! Wouldn’t they be wonderful to serve at your next cocktail party as a non-alcoholic option for your friends & family? Check out my 2 signature holiday mocktails and the recipes on how easy it is to make them. You can easily add your favorite clear rum to either of these drinks to make them an alcoholic option.
GIRLFRIEND TIP: You can decorate all of your glasses before your party and display them on a Mockini Bar which would add fun & festive touch to your party.
SANTA’S SLEIGHBELL MOCKTAIL
FIRST, Let’s Decorate The Glasses!
To decorate the glasses for this drink you will need:
– 1 roll of black electrical tape
– clear rhinestone stickers
– mini red or gold bells
– clear plastic string
– red and white striped paper straws
Wrap the electrical tape all the way around the rim of the glass. Place one large rhinestone sticker in the middle of the taped rim. String the 3 mini bells on to the clear plastic string and tie them to the bottom stem of the glass.
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Using the black electrical tape is key as it removes from the glass with no residue so you can reuse the glasses.
NEXT, Let’s Make The Drink!
To make this “Santa Sleighbell” drink you will need:
– 7UP® 2 liter (chilled)
– marachino cherries
– marachino cherry syrup
– margarita glass
You can make this in a large pitcher or by the glass. By the glass: Fill the glass to the bottom edge of the black tape line with 7UP®. Add 1 tablespoon of marachino cherry syrup and stir. The drink will have a gorgeous red color. By the pitcher: Fill up your pitcher 3/4 of the way with the 7UP®. Add 1 cup of maraschino cherry syrup and stir. Next, skewer three cherries on to the bottom end of a striped paper straw. Place the straw into the glass with the cherry side down. NOW ENJOY!
GIRLFRIEND TIP: You can add more or less of the marachino cherry syrup to get the desired amount of cherry flavor. You could also make an alcoholic version of this by adding in a clear rum.
SUGAR SNOWBALL MOCKTINI
FIRST, Let’s Decorate The Glasses!
To decorate the glasses for this drink you will need:
– 1 roll of black electrical tape
– clear rhinestone stickers
– mini red or gold bells
– clear plastic wire
– plastic snowflake drink stirrers
– clear rhinestone stickers
– removable glue dots
– clear sugar crystal sprinkles
– white poms (found in the craft section of Walmart)
Fill a shallow flat bowl with lemon juice and another with the clear sugar crystal sprinkles. Holding the glass by the stem, dip the rim of the glass flat into the lemon juice, lift it out (keeping the glass vertical) and then immediately dip it into the crystal sprinkles and twist the glass in the sprinkles (keeping the glass firm against the bottom of the bowl. This will ensure an even coating of sprinkles around the rim of the glass. Lift the glass out of the sprinkles and place to the side to dry.
On the base of the glass, place several removable glue dots all the way around the base and then press the white poms onto the glue dot all the way around.
GIRLFRIEND TIP: Be sure you get the removable Glue Dots so you can remove them from the glass to reuse the glasses. I also have mini wine glasses that I use to serve the kids’ mocktail in.
Take a plastic snowflake stirrer and simply place a large rhinestone sticker in the center. To get the desired effect of the snowflake sitting on the edge of the rim, you will have to cut the stirrer stick down by a few inches as they are too long as they come. This is easy to do with just a regular pair of scissors.
NEXT, Let’s Make The Drink!
To make this drink you will need:
– 7UP® 2 liter (chilled)
– lemon sorbet
– lemon juice
– wine glass
You have to actually make this drink by the glass. Super easy! Fill the wine glasses with the 7UP® about 1/2 way full. Then add one scoop of the lemon sorbet. Once that scoop has almost melted fully into the 7UP®, add a second scoop of sorbet and serve. You can easily make an alcoholic version of this drink by simply adding in a clear rum. Coconut rum would be FABULOUS in this! I don’t serve this with a straw so that guests can get that sugary/sour taste from the lemon juice and sugar rim which adds that extra punch of flavor!
GIRLFRIEND TIP:The drink is at it’s best once all the lemon sorbet has melted into the soda which is why I add one scoop first to begin melting and then top it off with the second scoop right before serving so it look pretty like a floating snowball on top!
TIMESAVING TIP:
During the holiday season when time is so precious as we are all running around trying to get everything done, I like to shop in stores like Walmart that has a variety of items that I need all in one place. For this, I was able to pickup the 7UP®, garnishes and craft decorating supplies all in one trip!

Those drinks look really good! I really love how you decorated them too. Very festive!
Wow these are beautiful and look delicious too! I am saving this to make on Christmas Day!
In love with those DIY glasses! And always great to have a non-alcoholic drink around for parties!
Thanks Paula!
Wow, can’t believe that’s black tape! I’m super impressed by the simplicity of the idea! I thought it was painted on.
That tape was so easy to use!
Great job on those glasses. Really set the mood.
Thanks Debbie! I had fun coming up with a design for the glasses!
These are so pretty. I love when drinks have a wonderful presentation, and this definitely fits.
Right!!! It just adds that special touch to decorate the glasses.
How fun is that? I love the sugar snowball. Yum.
Thanks Robin!
My mouth is watering, these look so festive.
Thanks Maria!
These look amazing, Tonya. Although I do like my “7” with that other “7”…. *wink*
LOL! LOL! Girl, you can so add a little “something…something!”
This is such a great idea! This would be a fun drink to share with the kids on Christmas Eve and again as we ring on the new year.
Yup! Thanks
Wait what? I had no idea you MADE these decorative martini glasses! They look so well put together, I seriously thought they were store bought. As I said on Instagram, I love the little santa belt you made. ha! So cute.
LOL! That is a compliment! Thanks!!
Those are gorgeous drinks! I don’t know which my favourite is, but I know I’d like any of them! I’m going to try making some for my boys 🙂
I’m sure they will love them.
I will have one of each, please! How lovely is this and I love how you decorate the glasses. That would really make a party fun!
LOL! One of each…coming up!
Those drinks sound amazing and your glass creations turned out really nice, so simple and yet they look great.
Thanks! Sometimes simple is the best!
I love the glass decor and the drink recipes. Will definitely have to try.
Thanks Christi! I had fun designing the glasses.
Absolutely adorable and perfectly festive for this time of year! Pinning! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Christina!
How cute are those glasses and the drinks sound delicious. I must try these.
Thanks! Your kids will love them too!
I love the decor on the glasses! That is so cute.
I love the Santa Sleighbell, it looks really beautiful and yummy!
There are so many different drinks, I have no idea what to try first; they all look good!
I totally love the glasses AND the drinks. I pinned them!
I’m shocked at how pretty theses drinks are! They are just so pretty! Wonderful little recipes too.
How interesting that you used 7 up in these drinks. very creative too
I am so pinning this one! I wish I would have seen it sooner so I could have made these for the gift exchanges I already did…but there is always next year! 😀
Wow. Those are so awesome. Great for when the girls come over but you actually have to concentrate! haha. I love the designs you made with the glasses!
Those glasses and the drinks look amazing. I like that they are moctails as well.
That martini glass is so awesome! I love all the things you can do with electrical tape! So clever!
The drinks looks and sound very tasty. I pinned them to my Christmas Board. I love how you decorated the glass! Perfect for Christmas!
These are really great alternatives. And I love how you decorated the glasses.
One unique way to decorate a glass. Amazing and very attractive.
I love those glasses they are super cute. I am going to have to try and make these.
This is great because we are not really fans of drinking but at the same time don’t want to look a kid with a glass of coke!
I’m loving the outcome. Too creative, and super cute! Pinning for later 🙂
The Sugar Snowball Mocktini is my favorite..very creative and chic! 🙂
I love festive cocktails. These ones look so yummy!
I love mocktails. They’re a great way to get that party flavor with out all the dizziness and slurring. 😉
I would love to have one of those “Santa’s Sleighbell” drinks! I will be partaking in “mocktails” this holiday since I’m pregnant and won’t be drinking alcohol anytime soon!
Those look so pretty and simple to make. The electrical tape is a nifty touch. Will have to make some of these this weekend.
Love these ideas! I’m not much of a drinker, so this is totally up my alley!
Great tips! I love that you used electrical tape for the santa’s belt – brilliant. I’m pinning these for future reference! My signature drink is simple and lame in comparison – wine. 🙂
The pictures make them look so delicious! I love the bells on the stem of the top drink!
This is such a cute way to decorate the glass. I will have to make some of these delicious Mocktails up for my Holiday get together.
These are almost too cute and pretty to drink! I love these – I am sure they taste fantastic!
What fun mock drinks and glasses. Love the way you dressed up the glasses with a holiday theme.
Wow they all look fantastic! That sugar snowball though looks absolutely incredible! What a fun idea!
I absolutely love the Girlfriend Tips. I think the Santa glasses are great. Gaffer tape??? Who knew.
There are so many great ideas in this post. First of all, I love the idea of using the decorated glasses as party of your party decor – what a great idea! I also love the idea of having beautiful, festive mocktails available for those guests who don’t drink alcohol. It’s very courteous and thoughtful. So many times at holiday parties those who don’t drink alcohol are just stuck with a can of soda or glass of water. This allows them to join in the festivities too.
Beautiful ideas! Not only do the drinks sound tasty, but the presentation is breathtaking. They look easy enough for me to make as well.:)
I think mocktails are a great party option. It keeps that ONE person who can’t hold their liquor from becoming a distraction.
These are very cute! I think these are fun ideas for parties with kids so there’s not so much alcohol around.
Wow oh wow this is amazing and look outstanding, very goof for parties.x
Those drinks sound delicious! And I love how you decorated the glasses – so fancy!
I don’t drink alcoholic beverages anymore nor do mist of my friends. Those days are long gone. These two drinks would be great to serve to my friends–I might try to make the glasses look pretty–but I am a klutz of the 1st degree!
This looks so good! And I love a good mocktail! Will definitely be trying this out.
I love all these recipes and your photos are gorgeous! Nice work!
These are totally awesome creative ideas. I will have to try both of these mock drinks. I love the red and black together. Thanks for sharing.
That is one unique mocktail drinks. My wife would love to see this setup.
Not only do those drinks sound amazing, but I absolutely love how you revved up the glasses too. Definitely going to make all of these for our Christmas Eve get together with friends.
I really like the idea of decorating the glasses! Such a festive look! I’d love to try the Sugar Snowball Mocktini!
So adorable and something I can enjoy since I don’t drink alcoholic beverages!
What a gorgeous presentation! Love the way you set everything up! Gorgeous!
I’m totally blown away by the 2 drinks! Love the entire package. Thanks for sharing your recipe & creative decor.
I love the way you decorated the glasses. So pretty. I haven’t tried those drinks. I think this Christmas would be the perfect time to make ’em. 🙂
This is such an amazing idea with great recipes! So incredibly creative! Thank you! #client
I love that it’s non-alcoholic and is displayed in a very pretty glass. Perfect for a holiday party.
This is SO cute — my grandmother always made these for me as a little girl and it’s still a favorite mocktail of mine.
Absolutely adorable love the decorated glasses
SO creative and a fun way to share the holiday joy. I wish I would have seen this before Christmas 🙂 But hey it looks good for the new year.
That Santa glass is TOO cute!!
Beautiful pics and the drinks look awesome.
THANK YOU for making this SO easy for those of us who are not so creative! I can’t wait to make the Sugar Snowball Mocktail!
this would be fun for any Holiday party! I love the glasses.
Now this is a pinterest one for sure! This is great for hosting Christmas parties.
That was a very creative work from you and it was juat fantastic. I thought at first by looking at the glass that it was genuinely made from a costly materials. I am definitely gonna try this on my own wine glasses this holiday season.
I am so amazed how easy this is to make! I have never thought to decorate my drink glasses. Such a cute and fun idea!
The cherry one reminds me of my favorite drink as a kid. I remember ordering this drink and feeling so grownup
Those drinks look delicious and I love the glass decorations. Very creative.

Finishing touch is everything when it comes to presentation and you just nailed it. Love how you decorated the glasses. Looks so fancy!
These look so great and I bet they taste even better!
This is so amazing and looks a perfect mocktail drinks.
Wow these are so beautiful. The drinks look delicious too!

The kids love mocktails. I think it’s fun to serve drinks that look pretty, esp. when guests are over.
I absolutely love the way you decorated that first glass. It completely transforms it!
Really elegant. I love the idea and loving those glasses. And doing this for the kids to drink, too, sounds fun.
These all look so yummy! For a season of overindulgence on drinks, I love the idea of festive mocktails:)
Thank you so much for posting drinks that I can enjoy with my daughters. I love the idea of these cute decorated glasses as well!
Se manifique! hahahha mocktail is such a cutely creative concept. i love it. The photos are exquisite.
