"    There may be no other TV characters who love the bubbles more than Ab Fab&amp;#039;s Edina and Patsy. In Edina&amp;#039;s remodeled kitchen, there&amp;#039;s even a champagne refrigerator full of Veuve Clicquot and Bollinger that mechanically replaces a bottle as soon as one&amp;#039;s taken out. I assume lots of champagne will be popping in the new three-part Ab Fab Christmas special, but tragically we can&amp;#039;t see it until January 8th here in the US. Since the BBC isn&amp;#039;t fully letting us get our champagne on yet, we figured we&amp;#039;d give you a guide to what else you can drink with holiday specials we can see:  Watch: Frosty the Snowman This doesn&amp;#039;t have the emotional pull of some of the others (Frosty always came across as a little doofy for my taste), but it&amp;#039;s light-hearted holiday fun. Drink: Prosecco This is made in a different method than champers (largely has to do with the fermentation process \u2013 for Champagne it takes place in the bottle and for Prosecco it&amp;#039;s in a tank). The bubbles are generally bigger so it&amp;#039;s not really as elegant as Champagne, but the Prosecco grape makes a very peachy, light, fantasticly good time in a glass.  Watch: How the Grinch Stole Christmas The Grinch is cheap and meager, but has some heart at the end. Drink: Cava This Spanish sparkler is made in the Champagne method, but with different grapes and aged for less time. It&amp;#039;s not always as complex and vivacious as Champagne, but much cheaper.  Watch: The Year Without Santa Claus I might still have nightmares from when I was little and thought there was a possibility Santa might not come, but who doesn&amp;#039;t love those dueling Heat Meister &amp;amp;amp; Cold Meister songs? Drink: Sparkling Wine The Meisters are at temperature extremes, and similarly the US produces a whoooooooole range of sparkling wines. Some made in the Champers method and others in the way Prosecco&amp;#039;s made. Some are aged for a while, some aren&amp;#039;t. Also, tons of different grapes are used. Still, there are lots of good ones: try Schramsburg, Iron Horse, and the affordable Domaine Chandon.  Watch: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer It&amp;#039;s probably the heart-wrenching Island of Misfit Toys that&amp;#039;s made this the longest-running Christmas special on TV. Despite its age, we&amp;#039;re going to suggest a sparkling wine you should drink young. Drink: Lambrusco A sparkling RED wine for Rudy, of course! Lambrusco hails from Italy, is less fizzy (call frizzante) and usually served chilled. It&amp;#039;s not the most serious wine out there by far, but can be kind of refreshing and fun. And if you can&amp;#039;t find Lambrusco, you can always go for some sparkling ros\u00E9.  Watch: A Charlie Brown Christmas This one&amp;#039;s the gold standard of Christmas specials. You laugh, you cry, you get your faith restored in humanity via a dog and a big-headed boy in a yellow and black shirt. Drink: Cr\u00E9mant It&amp;#039;s from France and made in the Champagne method, but can&amp;#039;t use the name because it&amp;#039;s outside of the Champagne region (and therefore costs way less). Some of the best is Cr\u00E9mant du Bourgogne (from Burgundy) which uses a blend of grapes similar to Champagne. Other regions use their own popular grapes which give Cr\u00E9mants a range of tastes - some thin like Charlie Brown&amp;#039;s tree, others full like the Peanuts-decorated tree at the end.
