Have you also resolved to be your best self in 2025, but are you worried your New Year's resolutions will fall by the wayside before Blue Monday? No worries: on January 18th, Alpro is hosting the very first Break-fest at De Hallen in Amsterdam.

Whether you want to exercise more, eat a plant-based diet, or cultivate more self-love, New Year's resolutions are part of the ritual of the new year and are incredibly effective because of the "fresh start" effect. Unfortunately, research shows that 80% of New Year's resolutions often fail. The result is the depressing Blue Monday on January 20th. Alpro wants to prevent you from falling into the winter blues and is pulling out all the stops with Break-fest for a fresh start to 2025! So say goodbye to the winter blues and kickstart your year full of energy and positivity. Tickets for Break-Fest are on sale now and include a delicious plant-based breakfast!
