It doesn’t have to be anything fancy but it simply has to appeal to you without all of the added ingredients that morph it into a deliciously sweet holiday favorite. One of my good friends is a sommelier and said that when it comes to making mulled wine, simply choose a red wine you like to drink. When I first began making this Slow Cooker Holiday Mulled Wine, I wasn’t really sure what kind of red wine to choose for the recipe. Every single time I make this slow cooker holiday mulled wine, people request the recipe and I take that as a good sign! It’s very hands off but also very much a slam-dunk with party guests. Simple enough, right? Since my priority when I’m hosting a party is the food, I don’t want to have to worry about drinks and this mulled wine recipe is the kind of warm and comforting holiday beverage that takes care of itself. Reduce to “warm” and top with a sprinkle of thinly-sliced oranges and cranberries.Allow mulled wine to warm up on “low” for an hour.

I am all about utilizing slow cookers for holiday parties to make things easier and this recipe takes full advantage of the benefits of a slow cooker! It’s the perfect drink to make for a party because it’s very hands-off. Over the course of several years, I found myself tweaking the recipe ever so slightly and wound up with the recipe I’m sharing with you guys today. A few years ago, I found a stove-top recipe for Ina Garten’s mulled wine and the first time I made it, I knew I found a winner. Today I have a recipe to share with you guys that has become a staple in our family holiday celebrations and our holiday parties with our friends.

And the longer we have to indulge in our favorite family dishes and holiday treats the better as well! A few days after Halloween I was at first thinking it was way too early but then I remember that I LOVE the holidays and so the longer we have to enjoy the holiday cheer, the better. Is it just me or did you guys feel the dramatic shift toward holiday everything the day after Halloween? All of a sudden stores exploded with holiday decor, gift guides popped up everywhere and talks of holiday plans and parties began to find their way into conversations on a seemingly daily basis. Thank you to BJ’s Wholesale Club for sponsoring this post!
