Obvs. A pint or half pint of the stout is an essential one for Santa’s trip across the Emerald Isle, and the children of Ireland agree, placing a half or full pint for F.C. during his sojourn.

Norway: Juleøl

Sweden: coffee
One assumes that Santa hits Sweden towards the end of the night, and will be in need of a much-needed caffeine boost.

Argentina

Of course, Santa loves to chase his cookies with a glass of milk because it's tasty, but it also him helps endure the long road ahead of him. Milk provides 13 essential nutrients that give Santa the ability to lead his reindeer to all the kiddos around the world expecting to see their favorite toy on Christmas morning.
Everyone knows that Santa's favorite way to wash down his plate of cookies is with a big glass of eggnog. This tradition has been around for decades, but have you ever asked yourself why? When did drinking this egg and milk concoction become a holiday tradition?
Eggnog. Of all the holiday co*cktails you can mix up, few are as fitting as a glass of homemade eggnog. It's a luscious, creamy drink that many crave when December rolls around and it often brings back fond memories. Eggnog is not difficult to make from scratch and it's tastier than most store-bought options.
Santa loves his white milk and cookies, but after stopping at every child's home, give Santa Claus some flavored milk for a tasty surprise. Or switch out the milk for some holiday eggnog!

The only difference between eggnog and milk is the added booze and cream... which is sure to take the edge off of his Christmas Day stress. Hopefully, this will make his job seem easier than it really is. For a great recipe, click here.

Similar to the Christmas Pickle tradition, this theory mentions that leaving milk and cookies out for Santa was a marketing ploy. The dairy industry was struggling in the early 20th century, so how do you raise sales, well by marketing that Santa drinks milk with his cookies.
Sweden. To keep Santa awake after all that sugar, and to keep him warm during the cold night, Swedish kids leave him out a cup of hot, delicious coffee.

Whiskey. Whiskey is often thought of as a “man's drink.” It's strong, it's bold, and it's not for the faint of heart. But just because whiskey is typically seen as a “manly” drink doesn't mean that it can't be enjoyed by everyone. Whiskey can make for great drinks for dads.
