While teens are four times more likely to drink alcohol if their parents report frequent drinking*, families can also role model having fun without alcohol.

Here are two ways to have festive, fun holiday cheer with a non-alcoholic twist. Any guest who cannot or chooses not to drink alcohol will be really thankful.

• At your family’s holiday gathering, role model Festive Fun for Everyone by offering a sparkling variety of festive, non-alcoholic sodas, fizzes and refreshers.
• Involve the whole family in making a hot chocolate charcuterie board for a movie or game night to show how festive and fun non-alcoholic can be.
