Thinking of making old fashioneds for Christmas Eve. Does anyone have a good holiday recipe or should I just stick with the original?

Probably stick with original. You could add different bitters like black walnut etc. Could also get an inexpensive bottle of rye and add some cinnamon sticks to it then use for old fashioned.

1 TBSP of this to 2 or 3 Oz of Sazerac Rye. Luxardo cherry and orange peel. Easy and so good

I tinkered with this last weekend.
Made simple syrup with brown sugar but threw some cloves in while it heated and then strained out.
Came out pretty damn good.
Also subbed orange bitters for Angostura.

Oh that syrup looks interesting

That sounds interesting. I hadn't thought about cloves.

Original but use a "spicy" rye instead of a bourbon

Christopher Kimball (Milk Street) is a big fan of the old fashioned. Here is his admittedly unorthodox recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1.5 oz Rye (he likes High West Double Rye)
1 oz Bourbon (he likes Buffalo Trace and Willett)
1 Dark brown or Demerara sugar cube
1 dash Angostura Bitters
1 dash Bitters of your choice (orange, cardamom, chocolate, etc.)
splash Water
Glass: Double Old-Fashioned
Garnish: 2 Griottines cherries (wild Morello cherries macerated in a blend of liquors; pricey)
DIRECTIONS
In a shaker muddle the sugar cube with the bitters and a small splash of water. Add the whiskies and fill with ice. Shake, and strain into a double Old-Fashioned glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with two Griottines cherries.

usually
3oz of something cheap. BT, Bulleit, Saz, usually a rye
splash of simple
3 dashes of Fee Brothers Black walnut bitters
Orange peel
Sometimes a cherry and a tad bit of juice I want it a little sweeter
ETA: call me crazy, but I'm not a fan of Luxardo cherries. I'd rather the cheap maraschinos

I am a traditionalist. Like bourbon, but my son in law asked if I had ever had an Old Fashoned made with tequila. Anyone here ever tried it?

For a little zing, add some Luxardo Maraschino.

Make your own simple syrup using dark brown sugar or buy syrup d'saison.
Use rye whiskey
Fill shaker with ice, whiskey, simple syrup.
Several dashes of anagustra bitters. One or two dashes of orange bitters.
Put ice and luxardo cherries in glass.
Shake and strain into glass.
Garnish with orange.
