Healthy Holiday Drinks to Enjoy All Season
Refresh your holiday routine with healthy holiday drinks that support your wellness goals.
When the holidays hit, it’s easy to get swept up in sugar-laden cocktails and creamy drinks that leave you feeling sluggish by the next morning. These four drinks prove that festive can also mean fresh, nourishing, and refined. From the crisp sparkle of cranberry and citrus to the cozy warmth of spiced cider and maple-cinnamon latte, each recipe brings seasonal flavor with a wholesome twist.
Whether you’re hosting a party, wrapping gifts, or winding down by the fire, these drinks deliver plenty of holiday cheer, no alcohol required. (But no judgment if you want to take things up a notch, each recipe works beautifully with a little spirit added in.)
And if you’d rather “spike the punch” the Alaya way, try adding a scoop of Alaya Multi Collagen for a beauty-boosting twist that supports you from the inside out.
