For a long time, the holidays were a stressful time for me. Even when I wasn’t actively struggling with an eating disorder, the season would stir up anxiety—pressure to eat “perfectly,” endless family gatherings, and the constant swirl of expectations.


I still remember one Christmas in particular: I was standing in the kitchen, staring at a plate of cookies, feeling torn between enjoying them and fearing I’d “ruin” everything I’d worked for. Add in the wine and festive cocktails, and the next morning often came with the dreaded holiday hangover—both physically and mentally.


Over time, I learned how to enjoy the celebrations without the hangover—not just avoiding the literal headache, but also the emotional stress that comes with it. One simple strategy? I started swapping some alcoholic drinks for festive mocktails that felt indulgent but kept me hydrated and energized. Here’s one of my favorites:


Holiday Ginger & Cranberry Mocktail:

  • 1 cup sparkling water

  • ½ cup 100% cranberry juice (unsweetened)

  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

  • Ice and a few fresh cranberries for garnish Mix together, pour over ice, and sip while you toast—festive, refreshing, and hangover-free!


But enjoying the holidays doesn’t stop there. I’ve also put together 10 delicious, high-protein holiday recipes that make it easier to nourish your body while still savoring the season.
