Stocking flasks are here to make Christmas a little more boozy

These stockings should be used with caution as they do hold more than 2 litres of your alcohol of choice.

Christmas is a time of novelty, where cringy festive jumpers, Santa hats, reindeer ears and bells are more than acceptable. The 12 pubs of Christmas has become something of a norm for office parties or even groups of friends just wanting a merry time during the festive season. Looking like something of a Christmas themed piñata, the stocking flask is new toy for those of us who want to get more messy than usual this Christmas time. Spotted on Santa's Flasks, there's a new toy on the market to liven up that Christmas party you've been dreading. The Christmas themed stockings which work as a flask hold up to 2.25 litres of fluid and can be left hanging by a fireplace, the fridge or if you're feeling particularly wild, the ceiling. The stocking itself is made of plastic and can be washed with soap and water - meaning you'll have it for years to come. If you're afraid of your drink of choice getting too warm in the stocking, the opening of the contraption is actually big enough to let you add ice cubes, making it perfect for punch or a big batch of cocktails.
