Applebee's Sleigh Bell Sips

Okay, so imagine this: you're at Applebee's, hungry for wings and ribs, and the server drops a holiday-themed drink in front of you that looks like it belongs in a snow globe.

That's the magic of the Sleigh Bell Sips.

And honestly? It's way more fun than it has any right to be.

What Are Sleigh Bell Sips?

The Sleigh Bell Sips are a rotating lineup of festive cocktails Applebee's rolls out every holiday season.

Think of them as the drink menu's version of ugly Christmas sweaters.

They're bold, colorful, and absolutely unapologetic.

Each year brings a fresh batch of sippers (see what I did there?), so there's always something new to try.

We're talking rum punch, peppermint cocktails, sugary mocktail-style drinks... the whole shebang.

The Names Alone Are a Whole Vibe

Applebee's didn't just whip up some random concoctions and call it a day.

No, no. They gave each drink a punny holiday name that practically demands you read it out loud.

They're Ridiculously Instagrammable

Here's the thing: these drinks don't just taste good. They look incredible.

Beams of whipped cream, shimmering sugar rims, tiny holiday garnishes — it's like a party in a glass.

You camera roll is basically begging for a photo of one of these.

You can sip a photogenic, holiday-inspired cocktail without your wallet crying into its eggnog.

Sometimes you just need a silly drink with a silly name next to some mozzarella sticks.

The Bottom Line

The Sleigh Bell Sips are proof that Applebee's doesn't take itself too seriously. And honestly? We love that for them.

Every holiday season, they show up with creativity, puns, and a whole lot of whipped cream on top.
