The solstice has passed, and while longer days are ahead, January still lies between. If you're participating in Dry January, you're already giving yourself an incredible gift—taking time to reset and focus on your health. Trust us, future you will thank present you for that. But let’s face it: for many, the idea of a "dry" month can feel a little...well, dry. It’s easy to assume that abstaining from alcohol means sacrificing fun or social moments. But what if you could have the best of both worlds?
Enter Wynk: a refreshing, garden-inspired alternative to alcohol that offers a naturally uplifting buzz without the sugars, calories, or hangovers. With a blend of THC and CBD, Wynk provides a gentle lift while keeping you present and in the moment. This isn’t your average “dry” experience. It’s about exploring new ways to make your social time sparkle, without missing out on the fun.
So this Dry January, why not break free from expectations? Keep reading for some ideas to keep your January filled with social connection and fun—like activities that bring out your inner child, including a waterpark excursion with friends! A waterpark weekend getaway sounded so fun that we decided to give one away to a lucky winner and their friends. Entry details are here. Let's make this Dry January not so dry.
Make the Ultimate Splash
We’re all about making Dry January not dry. This January, we’re offering you and your friends the ultimate winter getaway: one lucky winner will win a $2,000 prize package including two hotel rooms, indoor water park admission for four, and 6 cases of Wynk. How’s that for getting the plans out of the group chat for 2025? Before you know it, the winner and their crew will be off to make waves—and all the Wynk to wet their whistle, without any of the hangover funk.
Power Up
One of the best things that came out of the early pandemic was the creativity people brought to staying connected in small, safe groups. While Zoom happy hours have faded, many of those IRL activities have stuck around and evolved into evergreen fun. PowerPoint presentation parties are a great example. Their genius lies in simplicity: grab your friends, set some ground rules (e.g., subject parameters and time limits), and pick a topic. The internet is your oyster—may the best deep dive win! This is one party you don’t need alcohol for. A case of Wynk will do you even better—without the hangover the next day.
Mix and Match
Downsizing can be a slog, but a winter declutter will set you up for success come spring. Motivating yourself can be more fun with friends—so why not organize a clothing swap? Rehome some well-loved clothes, and in return, pick up some new-to-you styles. Eliminate the Depop and eBay middlemen with a good, old-fashioned, eco-friendly, hyper-local alternative. The best part? Every time you wear the pair of boots you swapped for a couple of cardigans, you'll remember your awesome hangout. Sip, swap, and chat for the ultimate fun-and-functional productive hang.
Give Back
No matter where you are, or where you live, someone in your community needs help. Find a soup kitchen, a park that needs cleaning, or a children's organization that’s looking for volunteers to read or tutor. Giving back is a great way to spend time together—and it’s always better when you do it as a group. When you’re done, celebrate your good deeds with some well-deserved Wynk.
Happy Trails
There’s a reason equine therapy has existed for thousands of years—horses heal. Schedule a scenic winter trail ride for you and your friends (most barns offer discounts for multiple bookings!). Whether you’re new to horses or a seasoned rider, this is a fantastic way to build confidence, enjoy nature, and connect with animals. Trail riding is perfect for winter, and you’ll likely leave your phone at the barn and focus on synchronizing your breath with your mount as they move beneath you. As you take in the winter wonderland around you, you’ll find that it’s one of the best ways to spend an hour. Bring along a Wynk for the perfect post-ride barn treat.
Turn the Page on 2024
A common goal each year is to read more than we did the year before. While carving out time for regular reading can be challenging, once you get into the habit, it becomes easier. Book clubs are a fantastic way to make new friends, but you don’t need to join one—start your own! Choose a book that everyone agrees on, and set your own pace. Whether you read one book a month or one every quarter, you're making progress. And even reading just five pages a day is better than none. The best part of a book club is the discussion—grab some Wynk, unpack the plot twists, and enjoy the conversation!
These are just a few ideas to make your Dry January anything but dry. Let your imagination run wild, and enjoy this month as a chance to stay connected with the people you love—because before you know it, spring will be here, and life will blossom around us. Your "dry" January can be as exciting and refreshing as you make it.
