Christmas Ale - Semi-Clone

[KG-Brew]

It's that time of year, thinking of doing a Christmas ale. I live in Houston and love St. Arnold's Christmas ale so was gonna start with a clone from there. My question is...I would like to alter/personalize it a bit. I can buy this stuff at the store so didn't want to solely make a clone. Any suggestions? I was thinking adding some spice, cinnamon, some faint pumpkin flavoring, something different.

Any thoughts...don't want to screw it up too much.

Do you have a base recipe that you're starting with or are you asking for a clone recipe?

We'd be happy to try and help but need a little more info

I might have to steal this! Thanks form sharing. As far as input, it seems like most christmas ales have some spice in them.. Especially cinnamon.
