Somewhere between the dinner table and making the rounds on the friends-and-family party circuit, you’ll likely find yourself reaching for a few drinks this holiday season. It could be to celebrate. It could be a social convention. It could be you just need something to make you forget about this damn new omicron variant that seems to have no escape…In the end, the result is the same: a drink. ‘Tis the season for festive, fun, and tasty cocktails. With all the holiday parties to attend and host, we at kreation wanted to provide you, our kreation family with a few kreationized holiday drink options that are better for our bodies but do not compromise flavor.
