    First off to the OP, congrats on your soon-to-be born child. Anyways, SN Celebration, Sam Smith Winter Warmer, Bell's Winter White Ale, SA Chocolate Bock are all brews that I'm really looking forward to having again this holiday season.

    Brown Shugga', son. I guess the good ol' Brown Shugga' blurs the line between fall and winter, but whatevs. I also enjoy Old Jubilation. Can't wait for the ST 2XMas to start showing up, either.

    It's really good and should get more love, imo. It's also a good value at $10-12/6pk.

    These two were tops last year for me. I'm hoping for some more variety on "christmas ales" this year since I've found some better shops around too.

    Congrats on the baby!

    Always look forward to S.N. Celebration and Bell's Special Double Cream Stout. However this year with the addition of Great Lakes Brewing Co. and a brand new Binny's Beverage Depot (yesterday was the grand opening) maybe I will find a few more staples for the fridge this holiday season.

    Stone's bottling of "Our Special Ale" (or whatever it was called), the Nonge-O/Jolly Pumpkin Collab was like Christmas in a glass back in '09. Haven't had anything else quite like it.
