Order a Holiday Drink
Whether you’re an avid Starbucks lover like myself, or are more into the local cafe scene, there’s a high chance your favorite coffee place has an assortment of holiday beverages. I have a Starbucks on campus that I go to (far too often than I want to admit), and I probably go even more during the holiday season because everything is much more festive when I have a Caramel Brulee Latte or Peppermint Mocha in my hand. It’s a super easy way to start slowly getting into the holiday season!
Host a Holiday-Themed Party
My roommates and I threw a small white elephant party this year and it was so fun! Friends bring goofy gifts that you can swap and steal, and it always ends up being a blast. I’ve also been to ugly sweater parties, cookie swap parties, etc that have been super fun. Whatever themed party you host or attend, even if it’s literally just a “holiday party,” will get you out of the fall mood and ready for all the festivities! Gathering with all your friends and family is a sure way to keep spirits bright and have a good time.
Give Yourself A Holiday Manicure
Obviously I didn’t do this manicure by myself, haha! I went to a nail salon and asked if they could do a reindeer, and it turned out so well. My roommate also got a super cute holiday manicure and got a traditional ugly sweater pattern manicure. It might just be me, but every time I look down at my manicure I get a little smile on my face and think about how excited I am for the holidays! If you can’t afford to go get a manicure, you can definitely do your own simple nail design too! And just in case you’re stuck for ideas, I’ve been pinning a bunch recently on this Pinterest board!
