What are some garnishing ideas for a Gingerbread Bellini?

What's the best way to serve a Gingerbread Bellini for a holiday party?
Serve Gingerbread Bellinis in elegant cocktail glasses, chilled and freshly made to preserve the bubbles and crisp profile. Decorate each glass with festive garnishes, and consider a serving station where guests can watch the drink being prepared, adding to the holiday spirit.
When is the best time of year to enjoy a Gingerbread Bellini?
The Gingerbread Bellini, with its warm spices and festive flavors, is perfect for the fall and winter seasons, especially around holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. Its gingerbread flavor makes it a favorite for holiday parties and gatherings.
