Can you post the list @BlackHaddock ? I can’t seem to find it. Not going out of my way to get them, but will probably end up in Spoons with my workmates so I’d like to know what “delights” might get available…
I tried to find a list when I posted, but can’t seem to get it on line. I saw the list in my local Spoon’s, on a card menu.

Been watching this thread, finally got something that may not be Christmas, but at least its winter:
Jackalope Brewing
Spoons Christmas beers.
Thanks for the list.
A winter / Christmas beer for me…
More winter than Christmas, but still including it. Decent enough oatmeal stout.
Three Christmas beer at the local spoons.
If you live anywhere that might be considered South do not look at the prices.
Southerners you have been warned.
This is the final warning.
Yes, they are pint prices.
I tend not to bother with anything less than £6 a pint … it’s usually crap
You can at least try all three for free!
Had this one a few days ago, forgot to post. It gets abominable rates, but was actually okay if you like super spiced to hell and back stouts.
Beer with the football and f1.

Nice red ale.
I have at least 4 Christmas Beers from the latest Fellowship of Beers box which I will have at some point but for now will share my Christmas Present beers. Had our team Christmas lunch yesterday and I was hoping that my manager would bring back some beers from his recent trip to Calgary and Detroit (first time anyone has combined them for a holiday?). So opened up his present early and he obliged:
Two beers from Prairie Dog in Calgary - Tail Twitcher West Coast IPA and Crispy Gurl Cold IPA - and two from Frankenmuth in Frankenmuth - Old Detroit Amber Ale and Munich Style Dunkel:
Should make up for any beers I have already had from the Advent Calendar.
Someone at work’s leaving do at Spoons in Reading yielded my first two Christmas/winter brews of the season (sorry no pics):

Mysteriously but happily they only charged me 99p per half (despite being labelled at £2.35 a pint), so in response to @Mr_Pink_152’s Spoons post above I can unexpectedly say southern beer prices are cheaper!
Not sure I approve of you gaslighting a fellow Ratebeerian though
Dropping the other half off in town later, can see the two Wetherspoons are offering 4 Christmas beers between them - but the micropub across town is having a Garage TTO: sod Christmas, I’m going for a couple of tasty Spanish beers! Bah humbug
Was it ‘Cask Ale Wednesday’? @wheresthepath. Spoons up here have cheaper priced ales every Wednesday, 50 Pence or so off a pint, thought it was nation wide?

As discussed, always such a disparity in prices for spoons beers (as normal I found differences even within London/the south)
Came back earlier this week from 2 weeks in London and was not hunting them down or anything but ticked 5 of the 12 Christmas ales between 2 different spoons.
Local spoons at mums in London was the Streatham spoons Holland Tringham (Zone 3 London) and the price for this was a respectable £2.91 a pint (where as London Zone 1) it would of been about £4.50 a pint.
But the airport prices are easily the worst as further south at the Flying Horse Gatwick spoons (captive pricing) sees the price rocket to £5.05 a pint - is there any spoons more expensive?
