What to drink this holiday season

Featuring mulled wine, hot chocolate, and dairy-free eggnog

While making merry is undoubtedly enjoyable, it can also be exhausting and take a physical toll—especially when many of the seasonal cocktails leave you with heaviness and discomfort the next day. To embrace the comforting, indulgent flavors without sacrificing wellness, Brooklyn-based recipe developer Ali Slagle reimagined holiday classics like mulled wine, hot chocolate, and eggnog by swapping in lighter, plant-based ingredients for the usual sugars and rich dairy products.

Here, three lightened-up holiday drinks to make as the new year looms:
