I'd really like to try a spiced Holiday/Christmas Ale this year (I know, I'm thinking about it a little late, but even if I bottled the second week of December, I'd still get about 3 weeks with spices in the secondary. Does anybody have a good recipe, or can you point me in the right direction for types and amounts of spices?

Thanks!
 
I made this one last year, it is a kit from more beer. I could not help it as I only paid $10 bucks from more beer. Everyone who tried it just loved it, I am going to make it again in a few weeks. Best of all no secondary so you will be able to get it done in time.
