    These holiday jello shots are so easy to prepare and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.  Top them with sugared cranberries for a beautiful, sparkly and festive garnish.

    If you decide to top these with sugared cranberries, be sure to do it just before serving.  The sugar will absorb the moisture from the jello shot if you leave them on top of the shot for too long (they’ll still taste good, though!).

    What You’ll Need

    • Cranberry jello
    • Vodka
    • Water (1 cup boiling and ½ cup cold)
    • Shot glasses or plastic souffle cups with lids

    I couldn’t find cranberry jello at any of my local grocery stores so I purchased it from Amazon, along with these souffle cups (affiliate links).

    Enjoy, have a wonderful holiday season and don’t forget to drink (or eat, in this case) responsibly.  Cheers!
