These days, whether I’m at a shopping mall or a grocery store, I can’t seem to leave the house without hearing familiar Christmas jingles that play on in my head even as I write this blog.

If you haven’t noticed the crimson beauties at your local market, look out: pomegranates are in peak season and bursting with flavor. That’s why I asked POM Wonderful to share a festive ho, ho, ho holiday drink recipe.
Since pomegranates are packed with potent antioxidents, this POM Mimosa is a healthier way to enjoy a little liquid Christmas cheer and toast to the new year. Holiday hosts and hostesses take note: This drink is so easy to make, it won’t steal you away from enjoying your own party. And its sparkling red hue will compliment all your holiday decor and that red Christmas sweater too. Cheers!
