Mala McAlpin Christmas gift hauls are traditionally not the best for our health, to put it lightly, with boxes of chocolates and bottles of wine often coming from every direction. Not to mention the naughties throughout the entire holiday season – Christmas puddings, gingerbread, trifle, custard, excessive lunches and dinners and over-indulgent end of year parties. We thought we’d lend a helping hand by incorporating some healthy options into this year’s Christmas gift guide, to keep you on track throughout the silly season and into the new year.
