Beginner Holiday brews

The caribous slobber doesnt get bottled for awhile yet but I am starting to try and find a easy brew for that will be ready for the holidays after I get the slobber out of the fermenter, Opinions wanted

I am not too familiar with the kits you all get down there, but as for styles, winter stouts and porters can be pretty straight forward and are usually ready fairly quickly. I also like a nice dark bock around christmas time, but if you go the full blown lagering route these can take some time.
