Between saving the small-town bakery and an unexpected run-in at the county fair, there’s one holiday staple at the heart of Hallmark star Andrew Walker’s Christmas: Cranberry!
When he’s not lighting up the screen in your favourite holiday movies, Andrew channels his love of mixing bold, seasonal flavours in the kitchen – a passion sparked during his time as a juice bar owner.
When it comes to Christmas, cranberry is his go-to, and this season he’s giving the tart-sweet classic a movie-night treatment with a lineup of easy mocktails to pair with your holiday watchlist!
Think warm spices for snowed-in romances, and bright, tarty sips for laugh-out-loud moments paired with cranberry juice for that undeniable festive flavour. And because Andrew is the master of the on-screen ‘spark’, he brings that sparkle to his drinks by using sparkling cranberry juices from Ocean Spray.
With flavours like cran-mango, cran-peach, and cran-pomegranate, these bubbly juices make mocktail prep feel effortless yet elevated – so you can throw on your mixology hat between scenes or commercial breaks.
Whether you’re watching solo or hosting a friendsmas holiday movie night, make your Christmas extra tarty by cracking a can on its own, mixing up one of his mocktail recipes, or adding a spirited pour if the mood strikes.
Cheers to a very Cranberry Christmas!
