    Hardywood Bourbon BA Gingerbread Stout. The Rum variant was my favorite last year but it doesn't look to be released this year.
    Alewerk's Marley's Lament.
    The Bruery's last few release in the 12 Days of Christmas series have been very good.

    I'm totally going to ditto everyone else who already said these. Sierra Nevada Celebration just feels like the holidays to me. Also, Brown Shugga is something I look forward to every year. End the night with the Belgians. St. Bernardus never disappoints and Delirium Noel. They usually have big group appeal to so perfect for a party. Cheers!! Happy Holidays

    St Bernardus Christmas Ale hands down. And also a quick mention to the retired Ommegang Adoration...but you can still find last years at some places like Total Wine.

    -Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale
    -Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale
    -Goose Island Honker's Ale
    -Duvel

    also depends on what you're doing/eating

    my family has a meal ~4pm on Christmas of lobster and steak plus mashed potatoes and other sides. for that meal i enjoy DFH Indian Brown Ale or Honkers. this year i'm gonna experiment much more but a tried and true beer always hits the spot.

    My local was giving away the SA Perfect Pint with the purchase of a White Christmas sixer. I had to grab one. I've always wanted the glass and, White Christmas is a pretty tasty wit. It doesn't get a lot of "love" here. Nice addition to my Winter Packs.

    Atwater Lebkuchen Christmas Ale, I tried one last night and it was really good. Not sure my current stash will hold out until the actual Holiday begins...

    I've never tried Sam Adams Old Fezziwig Ale, but I have two on deck as part of the winter variety pack. I have heard that they are good. Will find out soon enough.
