Edited for 2025
For the past few years, we’ve been writing guides to help people new to the alcohol-free scene find their perfect drink and 2025 is no exception.
The good news is that in 2025, there has been a considerable rise in the number of top-quality non-alcoholic drinks, from beers to sparkling wines, so that your Christmas day will be merry all round, even without the booze.
Below is a curated list of the top-reviewed alcohol-free drinks I’ve had in 2025 and can recommend. So, without further ado let the (hang-over free) drinking begin.
Best alcohol-free drinks for Xmas lunch
There are a number of different alcohol-free drinks you can choose to accompany your Christmas lunch so we’ve made it easy and selected the best of the best from three categories – beer, wine and traditional Xmas classic drinks.

Best Non-alcoholic Cocktails
Non-alcoholic cocktails (aka mocktails) can now be found as premixed drinks that are very similar to their alcoholic equivalents.
