Healthier Holiday Cocktails: Tips for a Guilt-Free Christmas

Nutritionist Amy Shapiro offers advice on healthier holiday cocktails, highlighting hot toddies and mulled wine as better options due to their simple ingredients and potential health benefits. Hot toddies are low in calories and contain vitamin C and cinnamon, while mulled wine has antioxidants and digestive spices. Shapiro advises moderation and suggests tweaks for less healthy drinks like eggnog and spiked hot chocolate, such as using plant-based milk and natural sweeteners. She also notes that tequila and mezcal may be healthier liquor choices due to their stimulant properties and lack of sugar.
