Mead nectar of the gods and I am not making that up.
This is true. A good mead is fantastic on cold nights, or any night for that matter.

Sweet apple cider. I live in apple country and one of the great things is stopping at an orchard's roadside stand and buying a gallon of fresh cider.
Since they all started pasteurizing or adding preservatives I buy cheap cooking apples and make my own cider in a juicer.
Non alcoholic, but becomes less non alcoholic if you let it ferment for a week or 2.
Makes a great hot drink too, with a cinnamon stick and a few cloves.
Single malt.
A good single malt for an experienced scotch drinker.
As one critic said, "A giant bear hug".
I hope to be locked in a liquor store or bar with the fans of mead. There will be no fighting over it, or the sloe gin, whatsoever.

The obvious answer to the question posed in t5he OP is a decent cup of tea, but since we're going down the alcoholic bent... On a cold day, it's hard to beat a nice mug of mulled wine or mulled cider. Otherwise, I'd recommend the same cocktail as I favour year round: The Ginger Marlowe. Named after myself, but designed by my lady friend, it has evolved to perfection thus:
Take a tall glass and add the following:
- one measure decent Whiskey (not the children's sort. Irish, preferably.)
- one measure dry London gin
- one measure spiced rum (I favour Sailor Jerry's, or The Kraken)
- Fill to the halfway point with Ginger Wine
- Fill glass to the top with ginger beer.
The last ingredient can be either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. Both work, though Perhaps the latter is more sensible should you be considering attempting more than one. I find I tend to be fairly jolly once the second kicks in...
Hot apple cider with a shot of bourbon.

A pint of London Pride in the daytime ...
... brandy & ginger in the evening.
Come fall and winter, I really like a nice glass of quality amontillado or medium sherry in the evening.
Hi
Beer, even Guinness Is A Year Round thing. My only fall drink is spiced apple cider. I drink hard cider year round too.
