White chocolate and peppermint are both iconic holiday flavors, and as such, make for a versatile recipe. You can add all kinds of toppings to the christmas pudding shots, such as marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or peppermint candies.

These are also sometimes referred to as peppermint bark shots, or candy cane pudding shots. As a recipe, it has lots of opportunities to be creative and mix different flavor combinations together.

How to Make Non-Alcoholic Peppermint Pudding Shots

To make your holiday pudding shots non-alcoholic, simply substitute a drink of your choice in lieu of the peppermint vodka. You can use any drink, and there are many choices, but you may need to adjust the recipe a smidge.

By this I mean, the alcohol content can make the peppermint pudding shots mix more or less runny. Without it, the same can happen, so you will need to adjust the amount of whipped topping you add in accordingly.
