While "A Literary Toast to the Holidays" is mostly about Christmas, this
book about festival also discusses other festive gatherings throughout the holiday season. On the contrary, you can also associate stories with winter festivities, such as Hanukkah and New Year's Eve, offering drink pairings that suit the themes of the stories. For example, a bright, effervescent drink like champagne could accompany a New Year's story, but a warming mulled wine could be combined with a story about the coziness of winter gatherings. These drink combinations enhance the reading experience by adding a sensory component, making festival celebrations more immersive and delightful.
