Happy holidays to all! This week, we're exploring Christmas songs made famous by the movies in which they first appeared.

Plus, Liz's favorite thing is The Corduroy Cuddle, which may or may not lead to a new career as a Professional Cuddle Service Provider.

This week's cocktail or mocktail-- THE HOLLY JOLLY CHRISTMAS:

Start by rimming a martini glass with crushed candy cane, using agave or some other sticky syrup to hold the chunks of candy to the glass.

For the cocktail:
1½ oz vodka (for mocktail, use cream soda or water if you like it less sweet)
1 oz vanilla liquor (we like Giffard Vanille de Madagascar Liqueur. For mocktail, use vanilla syrup or four drops of vanilla extract plus a teaspoon of sugar dissolved in an ounce of water)
1 oz peppermint schnapps (for mocktail, use peppermint syrup or five drops of peppermint extract plus a teaspoon of sugar dissolved in an ounce of water)

Shake all ingredients in a shaker with ice, then served strained into your rimmed glass.
