These are perfect for a cosy night watching your favourite Christmas movies or for winding down at the end of Christmas Day as you savour the taste of the festive season.

The Twinings range includes popular options like peppermint cheer tea, winter spice tea and traditional Christmas tea, so you can choose from a wide selection of delicious and festive beverages to get you through the holiday season.

A good Christmas tea should include warm and spicy flavours such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger, which each help to create a cosy and comforting feeling throughout the festive period. These teas can be enjoyed both hot or cold and go down as a treat when combined with mince pies or your favourite biscuits. 

Festive fruits such as apples, cranberries and oranges add a touch of sweetness to spice-infused Christmas teas to enhance the sensation of that delightful first sip. Plus, a good-quality black or green tea can help to add depth and body to your Christmas teas.

Getting the best taste from your Christmas tea blends is partly down to preparation. To ensure a great cuppa each time, follow these steps:

1. Boil fresh, cold water in a kettle.

2. Place a tea bag in a cup – a Christmas mug will make it feel even more festive! 

3. Pour the hot water over the Christmas tea and let it steep for 3-5 minutes.

4. Remove the tea bag or infuser and add milk, sugar or sweetener to taste – if desired.

5. Plate up your mince pie to accompany your tea for the ultimate Christmas combo.
