Need suggestion for festive holiday alcoholic beverage for small house party?

Am having a "girlfriend" holiday party - at least ten women - and would like to make the first drink a festive one but not one with dyes and chemicals like an apple martini would be. I will also be serving appetizers and a buffet dinner. We drink mojitos or sea breezes or margaritas when we go out so would like something other than those, or maybe a festive addition to one of them. Thanks.
