“December is upon us and with it comes all the excitement of the holiday season. Although our celebrations may look a little different this year, it is important that we continue to support those who are choosing not to drink.

There is no safe time, no safe amount, and no safe type of alcohol to consume during pregnancy. The safest and healthiest option is to not drink at all; but abstaining from alcohol can be challenging for some.

Our 12 Days of Mocktails campaign raises awareness of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) and encourages everyone to get involved in helping to support healthy pregnancies. From December 13^th to December 24^th we will be releasing a new mocktail recipe every day on our social media accounts. Mocktails are great alternatives to traditional alcoholic beverages, while still being fancy and festive. Share your favorite recipes with us using the hashtag #12DaysOfMocktails.”
