If you're hosting the annual Thanksgiving feast this year, you're going to need a festive co*cktail (or two!) to get your guests in the Turkey Day spirit. These mulled wine recipes will warm you right up during the colder months and alleviate some of that stress brought on by the holiday season. Of course, you should enjoy these cozy beverages any day during the fall or winter, not just during the hectic times! All of the recipes all differ in some way, but majority of them are based on the German version of mulled wine, which is called Glühwein. (Fun fact: Glühwein literally translates to "glow wine).
But there are also other regional varieties on this roundup, including Swedish mulled wine and Brazilian mulled wine. Along with the traditional mulled wine recipes, you'll love the upgraded versions too, such as the mulled wine margaritas, mulled apple cider sangria, or the mulled wine tea. We've also featured a handful of mulled wines that can be prepared with different cooking methods, wether you prefer to make you drink on your stovetop, in your slow cooker, or in your Instant Pot. It doesn't matter if you like red wine or white wine—there are recipes for both on this list, so there's a sip everyone can enjoy.
