Brewers help. Will you please help me with a beer recipe for the holidays?

Beerstashgirl asked:


I am in a contest with my husband and his friends of brewing a holiday/winter beer. They all have either home or professional brewing experience. I only have 3 home brew batches of experience, an IPA, Brown Ale, and Porter. I however, have read about and watched many brews being made. I must win. This is a battle of the underdog Vs the Tyrants. They are always joking and making little of my efforts. When I speak-up in my defense (not complaining) they do that macho crap, “we are just kidding.” But there is always a degree of true in ones teasing of another.
I need a great beer. It can be of the styles I have brewed but in some way a holiday themed beer. What shall I do? Please Help?
Yes and thank you, but I have already surfed the web for recipes. What I should say is something unique or even unsual. But not stupid like that college student’s beer. Crazy.
Would peppermint IPA be too wild? Using, say the candy.
Thanks people but I am looking for more ideas, uniqueness.
