It’s no secret that the holidays are fueled by caffeine and sweet treats. If you can relate, say season’s eatings (and drinkings) to these festive sips and snacks.

☕ Seasonal sips

Fat Bottom Brewing Co. | The brewery’s spiced Christmas ale, Noel, is available for a limited time.

Fido | Try Fido’s Candy Cane Mocha this holiday season. Pro tip: The Toasty the Snowman comes with a toasted marshmallow.

Soft Service Station | This peppermint matcha called The Grinch will bring cheer to all Whos far and near.

The Nashville Sundae Club | Choose from several hot chocolate flavors — classic, s’mores, and affogato, to name a few — with the option to make each one boozy.

The Well Coffeehouse | The Well’s seasonal specials include Santa’s Pub (bourbon cookie latte), My Name is Earl (lavender tea with bergamot syrup), Can’t Be Beet (beetroot, cocoa powder, and lemon Cuban), and a peppermint mocha latte.

Bonus: Stock your pantry with two seasonal coffee blends — Frothy Monkey’s Mocha Java blend and Flora + Fauna’s Cheers blend.

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Dylan.

Editor’s pick: In case you missed it, The Tennessean recently interviewed Dolly Parton, and the country icon shared something on her wish list — to perform at Bonnaroo. Coincidently, seeing Dolly at Roo is also on my wish list. Here’s to hoping one day that wish comes true. 🤞
