Bring Holiday Magic Home with Ocean Spray & Andrew Walker
There’s nothing quite like a Hallmark holiday movie: twinkling lights, cozy small towns, and that warm, festive feeling that makes the season feel effortless — even when your to-do list says otherwise. This year, Andrew Walker is helping Canadians bring a bit of that magic off-screen with sparkling cranberry mocktails that are as cheerful as your favourite holiday scenes.
Cranberry is the flavour of the season: bright, tart, and instantly festive. Drawing from his experience as a juice bar owner, Andrew has crafted drinks that are simple to recreate and full of personality — perfect for a snowed-in romance or a solo night by the fireplace.
The secret ingredient? Ocean Spray Sparkling Cranberry juices which have six playful flavours including favourites like cranberry-mango, cranberry-peach, and cranberry-pomegranate. With just one pour, these fizzy sips add sparkle and flavour, elevating any recipe.
The result is mocktails that are bright, tart, and make you go ooooo in the best way as you enjoy the taste of the holidays in a glass.
So this season, grab your coziest blanket, press play on your favourite Hallmark classic, and pour a glass of Ocean Spray sparkling. After all, the holidays are brighter when they sparkle with a little cranberry.
