Holiday Party Proof: Non-Alcoholic Options for Gathering, Hosting & Toasting

Posted by Alexandra Tenney on December 14, 2023

FOR CELEBRATING—SANS ALCOHOL

From the health-conscious to morning meeting makers, it’s likely that not everyone wants to double down on the alcohol-centered traditions of the holiday season. Gen Z drinks 20% less than millennials, who drink even less than the generation preceding them. With a widespread shift in attitudes around alcohol, hangovers, mental health, and wellness, it’s in vogue to keep things fresh—and tasty—for guests, colleagues, and loved ones drinking less (or not at all). After all, being in such a liquid and toasty environment can be, well, awkward if you aren’t partaking. Or…it can be exciting.

Curating a menu that balances alcohol with alternative options is ideal, whether you’re celebrating the holidays, winter engagements, weddings, New Year’s, or simply being near your dear ones. From French bubbly and ultra-premium wines to cocktails and ready-to-drink options, everyone can have a glass half-full.
