There comes a time at every party when someone starts pouring shots and hey, I'm all for a good time but the holiday season is wayyy too stressful to risk a hangover. That's the beauty of Jell-O shots, they make shooting liquor way easier and give you free range of what liquors, garnishes, and flavors you want to use. They can be made to match a themed party or replicate your favorite traditional cocktail (Hello, Margarita Jell-O Shots!) all while acting as a fun part of your spread that will look great next to your holiday dips.

You can use garnishes to make season Jell-O shots that look like Santa hats for Christmas, or the peel of the fruit to make an even more fun—and sustainable—way to shoot your shot. What are you waiting for? You're going to love these.
