Who wants one cocktail when you can have your choice of a dozen? Omni hotels across the country are celebrating the season by rolling out 12 cocktail options to take you through your 12 Days of Christmas. Even better, they've given us the recipes for all of them so we can enjoy them at home.

If you're home for the holidays, find the closest Omni bar and give yourself an hour (or three) away from the family and see how far into the song you can get. We found this Christmas classic got a little harder to sing after the four calling birds.
