You might’ve noticed the influx of food surrounding you as the holidays have swiftly approached.

If you’re on board with the eating and drinking train during these kick-off-to-winter months, here are some go-to food and beverage brands worth following on social to do you right for the holidays.

The holidays don’t have to mean weight gain but staying healthy through these tough months filled with decadent temptations doesn’t have to be hard.

Aside from substitution ideas, it also houses daily posts of simple healthy recipes themed around the time of year (like the holidays) as well as healthy fitness tips and inspiration. This is the brand to follow to counter putting on the extra holiday padding.
2. Kraft Foods
Speaking of holiday recipes, Kraft Foods is pretty much an integral brand in a majority of the cooking done at this time of year. If you’re ready to embrace holiday feasting and in need of news dish ideas you can’t go wrong with following Kraft in all of its online platforms.

Additionally, many of the posts encourage insta-follower engagement, which tends to get everyone in the spirit of the holidays.
4. Ketel One
Moving on to the fun part – drinks, which come in plethora during the holidays. Vodka, one of the most mixable of the hard alcohol category, certainly becomes a staple in the winter days. Try following the Ketel One Vodka YouTube channel. You’ll find not only drink recipes but also demos on how to create them which will translate to ensuring the holiday parties is extra cheery.
5. Starbucks
#RedCup drama aside, Starbucks is one of the best branders in the world, thus its engagement in the digital space is of high activity. Not only will the brand’s post get you in the mood for the holidays, it’ll also energize you by persuading you to actually go to Starbucks. Through its social channels Starbucks promotes contests quite often. Frequently enough that you could win some seriously cool stuff, all by participating within your own social profile. Think of all the coffee you’ll need after the food coma sets in, as the shopping spree ensues, and for the mid-party slump post lushing on too much wine. Starbucks will perk you up and is definitely clutch to follow during this busy social season.
You’re on social media and the internet non-stop as it is, so why not use it to your advantage this holiday season. Food and beverage brands are top of mind due to the endless gatherings that come with the holiday territory. Do it right by following these five brands to rev up a holiday for the books.
