    The only one I really look forward to every year is Anchor OSA.

    I need to branch out more... because I usually can't get enough of Great Lakes Christmas Ale and Thirsty Dog 12 Dogs of Christmas.

    If you start to burn, douse yourself in a lesser "holiday" ale. There should be no need of a holiday to brew or drink great beer!

    How can we talk about xmas when its not t-giving yet!?
    You have to like Belgian Christmas ale aged in oak barrels (Noel de calabaza)
    That said I like Anchor OSA, Celebration and Jubelale

    A lot of good ones all ready mentioned, but I miss (at least) one:

    Haandbryggeriet Bestefar. Tremendous beer.

    I love Old Fezziwig, just bums me out that you can't get it in a six pack by itself. Also Omegang does a winter ale called Adoration and it is reallllly good. Classic Belgian Christmas ale flavor profile, I would put it right up next to other top Belgian Christmas brews. I also like mad elf with a year on it as well as celebration ale. Because what kind if Christmas would it be without it.

    Great Lakes Christmas Ale= The most overrated beer of all time.

    Someone just broke in there the other day and didn't touch the stuff. Just took all the copper, What does that tell you?

    Hoppin' Frog BA Frosted Frog (or non BA)
    Thirsty Dog BA 12 dogs (non is ok)
    Bells Christmas Ale
    Breckenridge Christmas Ale
    Great Lakes (I like it, I just don't get the hype)

    I second this. Why do they put the Harvest Pumpkin in 6 packs but not the Old Fezziwig, I will never figure out.

    Surprised no one mentioned Affligem Noel

    Always a huge fan of St Bernardus Christmas Ale
    GL Christmas Ale
    Smuttynose Winter Ale

    Am I the only one who doesn't like Anchor OSA? Always thought that one had way too much spruce.

    The problem with reading these threads is they always bring up a new beer for me to try. I'm gonna have to get my hands on some Delerium Noel from the looks of things.
