Stay hydrated and treat yourself to a glass or two of Festive Healthy Infused Water during the colder months or at holiday gatherings. With these 3 delicious and easy recipes, you won’t be struggling to get your daily water intake in.
Staying hydrated is so important!
Make yourself a bunch of batches of flavorful and refreshing, FESTIVE HEALTHY INFUSED WATER to keep you hydrated during the colder months and during holiday festivities.
It’s so easy to forget about staying hydrated when the weather gets colder.
So many of us are super busy this time of the year, rushing around getting ready for the holidays. Since it’s not super hot outside, it makes it really easy to forget that we need to drink water.
I know it’s easy for me to forget. I have to portion my daily water intake into quart mason jars every day so I don’t forget to drink my water. Otherwise, I forget.
It’s easy to get kind of bored with plain water, especially when it’s cold outside.
You can easily solve that! There’s nothing more satisfying than festive healthy infused water!
This time of the year everyone is making holiday cookies, peppermint goodies and sweet treats, planning holiday menus and getting ready to serve guests at holiday parties.
Often hot chocolate is served or fancy holiday drinks, but they’re not always kid-friendly and they’re almost never hydrating.
We need that good ole water to keep us hydrated, but also to help our body detox and flush all of those indulgent foods out.
The best way to do that, and still feel like you’re getting a special treat, is by serving and treating yourself to this delicious festive healthy infused water.
You can easily make up a big batch for just you or your family daily. You can also woo your guests and serve this at holiday parties. Just break out the fancy glasses!
The best part is this drink is for everyone!
The whole family can enjoy this drink and no one will feel left out! So enjoy this delicious water throughout the winter months and make sure to serve some at holiday parties and New Year’s Eve celebrations.

I don’t drink alcohol so I try to always have some kind of mocktail for the holidays so I don’t feel left out. This is perfect!
Same here! I love that you do the same. 🙂
These drinks are so pretty! I don’t drink alcohol so I always appreciate a festive water!
Thanks so much Linda! Me too – it’s so nice to have fun drinks for those of us who don’t drink alcohol. 🙂
I want to try all of them — but especially the Orange-Pomegranate!
That’s my favorite 😉
Love this! I need to pimp out my waters more often.
LOL 🙂 I hope you get to make some!
I really love this idea Emily! So handy as I’m not a big drinker and I loathe soft drinks! You’ve made them look so pretty too.
Thanks so much Monique! 🙂 I hope you get to make some.
Such a great idea to make water more fun!
Thanks so much Jessica! 🙂
You make such a good point, that most holiday drinks are not hydrating. Plus, for me, they can be too filling. I love that simple is best sometimes, and this totally hits the mark, so lovely and simple and love that sea salt! How appealing at a gathering!
Right? I think it’s so easy for us to forget when we’re enjoying the other drinks – but we also need the hydrating ones. I bet you could make them festive for you without the fruit and use some herbs instead. 🙂 xo
These are fantastic recipes for drinking more water and they look festive and pretty! I think my eyes would be very happy to find a pitcher of infused water in my fridge!
Thanks Daniela! 🙂 That’s the best part! It’s like a treat to yourself.
I love your variations – they sound delicious! I agree with the busyness and colder weather, it is so easy to forget about drinking water and staying hydrated!
Thank you Dina-Marie! It really is easy to forget isn’t it? Happy holidays to you. 🙂
Haha, did I just hit the jackpot of finding 3 recipes all in one post? All sound amazing, Emily! <3
lol 🙂 Thanks!
What a fun (non boozy) way to spice up the beverage table!
Thanks Cristina! 🙂
Love this! I do enjoy drinking water, but sometimes spicing it up makes it much more enjoyable!
Yes! 🙂
These all sound so good! Can’t wait to try them!
Thanks! I hope you get to make some. 🙂
This is such a lovely recipe, Emily, and pretty enough to serve as a holiday mocktail!
Thanks so much Carrie! 🙂
So festive, beautiful, and I am eager to try this idea!! It takes water to a whole new level!
I hope you get to make some. 🙂
These are perfect! The orange pomegranate sounds lovely! shared on fb.
Thank you so much! 🙂
It’s so hard to remember to stay hydrated during the holidays when we’re all so busy, and often, drinking more dehydrating beverages than normal! I usually make water like this when I have parties and I find people do drink so much more of it than regular water!
That’s so true about serving it at parties, this kind of water goes so much faster. 🙂
They all look delicious, but especially the cinnamon pear version!
Thank you Kari! 🙂
Love the festive colors! And yes, hydration is so key. So many people are walking around feeling terrible this time of the year and and they’re dehydrated (and probably low blood sugar from all the sugar too!)
So true! 🙂
I love how healthy and festive all of these drinks are! No one will feel left out of the holiday cheer!
Thank you! They’re so much fun. 🙂
YUM! Thanks for sharing. We are making the orange pomegranate one for our holiday dinner.
I hope you enjoyed it! 🙂
I love infused waters. I had some at Christmas party the other day!
So yummy! 🙂
Gorgeous and delicious as always !
Thank you! 🙂
Love this idea for ringing in the new year!
So perfect for that! 🙂
This is a perfect way to stay hydrated! Beautiful for the holidays, but something I would drink year round.
Thank you and so true! 🙂
