Alcohol-free Christmas drinks 2024
You know the score by now. Halloween is barely a distant memory before the skeletons and witch brooms are replaced by reindeer and grottos! As such it’s time for MyDryBar to rock out another post detailing all the best non-alcoholic Christmas drinks.
As regular readers know I’ve tried hundreds of alcohol-free drinks from beer and cocktails to wine and cider and as such I believe I can provide you with a strong choice of drinking options for your Xmas lunch/ dinner and NY festivities that will please the fussiest of guests/ relatives.
Below are a number of the top reviewed alcohol-free drinks I’ve had along with current availability and price. Make sure you check the full review for each drink to see where it scored highly. So, without further ado let the (hang-over free) drinking begin.
Non-alcoholic Christmas lunch drinks
Good news – this Christmas 2024 could easily be a sober one and there won’t be any drop in quality drinking. Year after year alcohol-free drinking is getting better with more choices and options. Not going to lie, alcohol-free wine is still a struggle but if you have friends who want to enjoy a refreshing beer with their roast we’ve got you covered.
Specialised Christmas drinks
Its no real surprise that the number of traditional Christmas drinks that have become alcohol-free is on the rise. There are producers and supermarkets that want to cash-in on their popularity so here are a few festive tipples to enjoy.

The following non-alcoholic beers will please most drinkers and are the perfect inclusion to any Christmas lunch. Whether its an IPA, lager or wheat beer there is something for everyone. For more options check out my dedicated alcohol-free beer page.
Non-alcoholic post-Xmas lunch drinks
Let’s face it, after your mammoth Xmas lunch there isn’t going to be too much space left. That said perhaps its time to help the meal digest with a non-alcoholic digestif. Or perhaps you’re feeling cozy and chilled and want to relax with a decadent alcohol-free stout beer. Whatever hour decision there’s going to be plenty of choice to wrap up the day.
Best Non-alcoholic aperitifs
There are a growing number of alcohol-free aperitifs that range from the uniquely botanical to the classicaly herbal. Here I’ve picked out some of my favofutiites that will help that post Xmas lunch slump.
Non-alcoholic Xmas Stouts
Stout beers are the ultimate winter beer. Dark and decadent with a velvety texture and creamy flavour this beer is certainly one to sip next to chestnuts on a roaring fire. Opposite are some of my favourite stouts but make sure you check out more of my non-alcoholic stout reviews.
