Here’s How to Put a Healthy Twist on Your Favorite Holiday Traditions

It’s not always easy to keep your healthy eating top-of-mind during the holidays. Between the endless supply of cookies and the temptation to spend all your time cozied up on the couch watching movies, it’s no surprise that health tends to take a backseat during all the celebrating. That’s why we’re teaming up with Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt to share how you and your loved ones can participate in all of the best parts of the season without getting off track. From healthier twists on festive treats to getting active with your crew, we’ve got ya covered with a plan that will allow you to experience all the joys of the next couple of weeks.

Scroll on to see how you can make it through the holidays and still feel great.

1. Spend quality time with the family by getting off the couch — and on the ice. This year, cross off your favorite films *and* making new memories with your loved ones. This is the perfect opportunity to hit the seasonal ice rink (hello, twinkle lights and holiday magic) and get your body moving. If skates aren’t your thing, consider throwing together a flag football game or a park-wide scavenger hunt for the whole fam. You’re bound to be this year’s MVP.

2. Treat yourself to a Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate. What’s more festive than peppermint? Set aside the high-calorie eggnog in favor of something a bit lighter that, bonus, will impress your pals: Frozen Peppermint Hot Chocolate.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Peppermint Crunch
  • 1 cup milk of your preference
  • 1 cup chocolate milk
  • ½ cup hot cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons of chocolate sauce
  • 3 cups ice

Top With:

  • Layered Scoops of  Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Peppermint Crunch
  • Chocolate Sauce
  • Peppermint mini marshmallows
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Crushed peppermint candy
  • Peppermint bark

Directions:

1. Put all of your ingredients into a blender. Blend until smooth.

2. Place pitcher in the refrigerator or freezer while you prepare the glasses: Put ¼ cup of hot fudge sauce on a small plate and dip the tops of four 8-oz glasses in it to create a chocolate rim.

3. Fill each mug about halfway with the yogurt mixture. Add a small scoop of Peppermint Crunch in the middle of each glass. Top off each glass with the mixture once more, then add another small scoop of Peppermint Crunch.

4. Top the frozen delicacy to your heart’s desire with whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate curls and peppermint.

5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

3. Hit your steps goal by shopping local rather than online. As tempting as it is to shop from the comfort of your plush bed, opt out of getting all your holiday gifts online this year. When possible, pick items up for your loved ones in-store as an easy way to squeeze in a couple extra steps. The walk will do you good!

Bonus: Maybe you’ll get lucky and hit an in-store-only sale while you’re out!

4. Swap out traditional ingredients with a healthy alternative. Calling all hostesses or potluck-lovers! Try upgrading some holiday entertaining staples with nutrient-dense alternatives — like making your favorite party dip with Greek yogurt.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup key lime Greek yogurt
  • 10-12 large mint leaves, finely chopped, plus a few small leaves for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Zest of 1 lime

Directions:

1. In a medium bowl, stir together yogurts and mint.

2. Let dip sit in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

3. When ready to serve, place in a bowl and drizzle honey on top. Garnish with lime zest and a small mint sprig.

4. Serve with fresh fruit and thin wafers (or even dried fruit).

Get creative when building a dish: Think about where you can add extra protein and greens. Other simple swaps include mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes and zucchini noodles instead of spaghetti.

5. Revel in that alone time while kick-starting your metabolism with a morning walk. Whether your in-laws are visiting or the kids are up even earlier than usual, the level of crazy in your house is bound to be higher than usual. Do yourself a favor and swap the madness for a little time in the fresh air. Start by committing to at least 15 minutes every day to prioritize your physical and mental health. When the holiday season comes to an end, you might find this is a habit you’re not ready to give up.

6. Practice portion control. You’ve heard the saying before, but one more time for the kids in the back: Everything in moderation. This is the most joyful time of the year, and you shouldn’t deprive yourself of your most beloved treats! Instead, familiarize yourself with what healthy portions look like by using our visual guide. The more you know!

7. Put a new spin on the same old holiday cookies. Ready to indulge a little?Time to break out one of Yasso’s newest holiday flavors: Sugar Cookie. Your guests will love the nutritious twist on the classic holiday cookie and the opportunity to customize their sundaes. We’re partial to a setup that includes plenty of sprinkles and marshmallows. The kids will get a kick out of decorating their dessert, and you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’ve discreetly packed a bit more protein into their meal. PSST: You can also grab the bar version for a quick treat on the go!

Round up the fam — it’s time to take on the festivities!

How To Watch A Charlie Brown Christmas For Free This Holiday Season

As I type this, I'm sipping on chai tea, wrapped in a blanket covered in hedgehogs holding candy canes, while twinkly lights hang on the wall behind my head. That's right baby, it's Christmastime!! (Well, almost). It might not be Thanksgiving yet, but we're getting in the holiday spirit early, because...well, why not? A few Christmas music, a taste test of Taylor Swift's chai tea cookies, and A Charlie Brown Christmas are all surefire ways to make any cloudy, dark-before-5 pm day merry and bright. After you've watched Snoopy prepare dinner for all his friends in A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, press play on the oh so sweet A Charlie Brown Christmas!

Here's everything you need to know about how to stream A Charlie Brown Christmas this winter — plus some additional trivia about the special.

Where can I watch Charlie Brown Christmas full movie?

CBS/Apple

Where to stream A Charlie Brown Christmas

You can stream A Charlie Brown Christmas on Apple TV+ this year, which is also where you'll find It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. So if you're wondering, 'Is A Charlie Brown Christmas on Netflix?' unfortunately, no, it's not.

But while the $9.99 cost for an Apple TV+ subscription gives you access to literally so many other titles, it's understandable if that's a deal breaker. Good thing there's a 7-day free trial! Apple TV+ is also airing the special for free on two days during the holiday season: December 14 and December 15. Mark your calendar!

Check out Everything Coming To Apple TV+ In 2024 for a look into the streamer's newest projects!

What's the special about?

CBS/Apple

A Charlie Brown Christmas Plot

In A Charlie Brown Christmas, our titular main character is not feeling merry and bright. Even though the world is cheery (and snowy) around him, he simply can't break out of his funk — especially when he tries to direct his friends in the local Christmas play and they all make fun of him. But thankfully, Linus, and one special little Christmas tree, help save Charlie Brown's Christmas spirit.

The special definitely struck a chord in audiences. According to TODAY, almost half of the entire country tuned into the premiere, and A Charlie Brown Christmas ended up winning an Emmy in 1966 for Outstanding Children's Program.

When did A Charlie Brown Christmas come out?

CBS/Apple

A Charlie Brown Christmas Release Date

A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on CBS December 9, 1965. Even though Charles M. Schulz's comic strip introduced characters like Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, and Snoopy in 1950, this was the first time the characters appeared in a TV special.

Can I stream the music from A Charlie Brown Christmas?

Concord Music Group

Yes you can listen to the A Charlie Brown Christmas album (which has sold more than 5 million copies) on streaming platforms!

Why is A Charlie Brown Christmas not airing?

CBS/Apple

After Apple bought the rights to the Charlie Brown specials in 2018, A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown haven't regularly premiered on TV. 2022 marked the last time Apple allowed PBS stations to air A Charlie Brown Christmas once during the holiday season.

Will ABC show A Charlie Brown Christmas?

Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker Get Cozy In Sweet Birthday Tribute

In the realm of celebrity families, the Kardashians reign supreme. Among them, eldest sister Kourtney Kardashian stands out with her dynamic personality and well-documented (Hello, Keeping Up With The Kardashians!) foray into motherhood. She recently made it known that being a mom is her number one priority, and she won't allow anyone or anything to take her away from that. With that level of dedication, it's clear that Kourtney is an amazing mom with lots of love to give! Here's everything you should know about her sweet kids!

How many biological kids does Kourtney Kardashian have?

Kourtney Kardashian has four biological kids! Their names are Mason, Penelope, Reign, and Rocky. She shares her first three children with ex Scott Disick, and now shares Rocky her current husband, Travis Barker. Kourtney also appears to be very close to her step children, Landon and Alabama Barker.

What is Kourtney Kardashian's new baby's name?

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker announced the birth of their beautiful baby boy on December 22, 2023. His name is Rocky Thirteen Barker, which has a special meaning for Travis' father. Travis told Grazia Magazine that Rocky George was the guitarist for Suicidal Tendencies, and 13 is "just the greatest number of all time."

Will Kourtney Kardashian have a surrogate?

Image via @kourtneykardash/Instagram

According to Daily Mail, Kourtney's pregnancy with Rocky wasn't easy, eventually ending up with a rush to the hospital for urgent fetal surgery. Because of how difficult (and likely traumatizing) that was, Kourtney and Travis have apparently decided to go with a surrogate for any future children they have.

Mason Dash Disick, 14

Images via Instagram/@kimkardashian and Ari Perilstein/Getty Images for Feld Entertainment

Mason Dash Disick, born on December 14, 2009, is Kourtney's first biological child. He's also the first grandchild of the Kardashian family, and his birth was actually filmed for Keeping Up With the Kardashians! His middle name might sound familiar, as it also belongs to the set of stores that Kourtney, Khloe, and Kim previously ran. "Dash" parallels their last name and simultaneously serves as a tribute to their late father's (Robert Kardashian) nickname.

Penelope Scotland Disick, 11

Penelope — often affectionately referred to as "P" — was born on July 8, 2012. She was also born on Keeping Up With the Kardashians and is very close with her famous cousin, North West. They post their hilarious antics all over TikTok, making us miss those childhood mems with our own cousins.

Reign Aston Disick, 9

Image via Instagram/@kourtneykardash

Reign is Kourtney and Scott's youngest child, and he was born on the same day as his older brother Mason! He's nine years old, and seems to bring his big personality wherever he goes. You can find a lot of his goofiness all over Kourt's Instagram.

Rocky Thirteen Barker, 3 months

Image via Instagram/@kourtneykardash

Rocky Thirteen Barker is the latest addition to Kourtney Kardashian's kids! Kourtney was very open about her struggles with conceiving Rocky, as well as the complications that arose during her pregnancy. Thankfully, all worked out well, and now Rocky is living his best life with his parents and siblings!

How many kids does Travis Barker have?

Outside of Rocky, Travis Barker shares two biological with his ex-wife, Shanna Moakler. He also has a step-daughter named Atiana De La Hoya who he — and Kourtney — are very close with.

Travis Barker's shares his step daughter, Atiana De Le Hoya, with her mother Shanna Moakler. Atiana was born on March 29, 1999, and she's the eldest of the combined Barker-Kardashian clan. Atiana acts, and she recently starred in a thriller called Maya.

Landon Asher Barker, 20

Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy

Landon Barker was born on October 9, 2003, and is a musician — just like his dad! He's released a number of songs including "Trust" and "Holiday". In June of 2022, Landon began dating Internet celebrity and TikTok star, Charli D'Amelio. Sadly, in February of 2024, the two called it quits. They expressed that they're still friends and still have a lot of love left for one another.

Alabama Luella Barker, 18

Photo by Presley Ann/Getty Images for Spotify

Music must run in the family because Alabama Barker is a budding musician, too! She was born on December 24, 2005, while her family was starring in a reality show called Meet the Barkers. Today, she's still in the spotlight and is very active on TikTok. She posts a lot of her music across her platforms — which have collectively over 3 million followers!

How old is Travis Barker?

@kourtneykardashian/Instagram

Travis Barker recently celebrated his 49th birthday with Kourtney Kardashian by his side. The Lemme founder shared a sweet carousel of pictures of Instagram and wrote "Happy birthday to the love of my life," in her caption. Travis responded with, "My best friend, I love you. It’s you forever 🖤," which makes my heart melt.

Each picture features a candid BTS look at them cuddling and enjoying each other's presence, but they all share a common theme. These two are happily in love and are excited to be taking on the world together.
