Decorations are going up and it’s time to sleigh the season with some of Australia’s best Christmas alcohol gifts!
We’ve hand-selected some of the most interesting alcoholic drinks to hit Australian shelves in the lead-up to Christmas this year. Some are quirky, others indulgent, but all are jam-packed with holiday cheer.
There’s no time quite like Christmas for gathering family and friends and toasting the year that was. And there are no sips quite like these newcomers to make the moment unforgettable.
Let’s take a closer look!
Sugarbird Gin Christmas Crackers, $40
From a craft gin specialist in South Africa comes a juniper-rich gift any gin fan will adore.
This set of Christmas crackers includes six 50ml gin liqueurs to wrap taste buds around, including Blood Orange, Plum and Vanilla, Raspberry Pavlova (OMG, yes!) and three African Dry Gins.
A stunning alcohol-themed gift this Christmas – whether for yourself or someone special.
We Three Kings Gin, $99
Infused with Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh, We Three Kings Gin captures the essence of Christmas with a nod to its biblical origins.
Distilled by spirit master Philip Moore of Distillery Botanica, it’s just as delicious in a martini as it is on its own over ice.
Snowglobe Gingerbread & Orange Gin Liqueur, $60
It’s Christmas in a bottle – literally. This stunning snowglobe gin liqueur from England captures all the magic of the season, from the scent of freshly baked gingerbread to the cosiness of a crackling fire.
But the best bit? Give it a gentle shake and watch 23 karat edible gold leaf swirl before you pour yourself a glass of pure holiday indulgence.
Flavour-packed and beautifully bottled with a cork stopper, this Christmas gift is nothing short of a showstopper.
Australian Christmas Gin 2025, $100
From Four Pillars, Australian Christmas Gin is a special sip that touches on all of the best flavours of Christmas.
Co-founder of Four Pillars, Cameron Mackenzie, distilled all of the ingredients used in his family’s cherished Christmas pudding recipe and then aged it in Rutherglen Muscat barrels for one year. The result is a juniper-rich gin with glorious hints of cinnamon and sweetness.
Artist Andrea Huelin designed the vintage-style label, which features elements from every bottle label over the past decade. If you’re a collector of this annual favourite, move fast to grab it!
Christmas Tree Gin Liqueur, $40
Your bar cart called – it needs this!
Crafted in the UK and ready to gift, this 500ml bottle of alcoholic gin liqueur is brimming with delectable red berry flavours and brings the wow-factor of 23 karat gold flakes to every pour.
We’re loving the tree-shaped bottle as a centrepiece for the Christmas table – it’s festivity dialled right up.
Chrissy Bickie Gin, $79
It’s double the cheer with Five Eleven’s Chrissy Bickie Gin duo – and either (or both!) make one of our hands-down favourite Christmas alcohol gifts available right now.
The original is all festive spice and creamy vanilla, with undertones of ginger and clove. Its barrel-aged sibling takes things up a notch, adding toasted oak and silky toffee and a gentle hit of citrus.
Both of these beauties are a nod to Annette’s grandfather’s treasured speculaas biscuits. Each nostalgic sip delivers the same warmth and joy that filled their home every holiday season.
Gingle Bells Floral Gin Baubles Set, $79
Super popular amongst drinks gifters, Gin Baubles from Gingle Bells come in beautifully packaged sets of six.
Each bauble contains 50ml of premium gin and includes: Finger Lime Gin Snow Dome, Pepperberry Spicy Gin, Snowflower and Passionfruit Gin, Wattleseed Chocolately Gin, Wild Hibiscus Flower and Ginger Gin, and finally, Elderflower and Butterfly Pea Flower Gin.
And psst! If you buy five sets, you get one FREE!
Christmas Release Single Malt Whiskey, from $20
From Old Kempton Distillery, this Christmas Release Single Malt Whiskey combines the aromas of malt, dates, oak, orange peel and cherries with a toffee-sweet finish and a touch of char. Consider it a nod to all your favourite traditional Christmas fare, including plum pudding and Florentines.
It combines four tawny casks: two matured for approximately six years and two younger casks for added brightness.
Options include a 500ml bottle ($155) and a 50ml sampler ($200), both strictly limited releases, so get your skates on.
Snowglobe Winterberry Gin Liqueur Baubles, $12.99
Whether you need a secret Santa gift for a gin fan or want some adorably boozy placeholders for the grown-ups’ Christmas table, these gin baubles are just the ticket.
Each glass bauble features a stunning festive design and contains 50ml of winterberry gin liqueur.
The pièce de résistance is the 23-karat gold flakes in each bottle, making them the ultimate Christmas snowglobes for gin lovers.
West Winds Distillers Christmas Gin, $22
From the distiller behind some of the best Australian gins comes something cute, festive and absolutely ready to gift.
West Winds Christmas Gin takes a different approach from several other Christmas gins, which are often intended to be sipped neat. Taking into account Australia’s hot climate over the festive season, this dry gin is gently infused with aromas of Christmas, making it the ultimate spirit for shaking up with ice in your favourite mixed drinks.
Ready for a new spin on your favourite G&T? I think so!
Spiced Christmas Liqueur, from $15
Proudly made by Tamborine Mountain Distillery, Spiced Christmas Liqueur captures the spirit and taste of the holiday season.
Expect to find a medley of quintessentially festive spices in this drop. Cinnamon, spiced honey, nutmeg, clove and vanilla are all harmoniously blended with matured rum for full flavour.
Available in 55ml, 200ml and 375ml bottles.
