The year’s end always feels different. The air softens, the days grow slower, and suddenly, Lagos pulses with the festive energy of Detty December. For Tola, it’s her favourite time to pause, reflect, and simply breathe.
Between work deadlines, her kids school end of the year activities, family routines, and the extra buzz of holiday gatherings, she has found her little oasis of peace: sitting on her couch with her favourite Chivita Ice Tea in hand while reading a book, watching the world ease into a gentler rhythm.
It’s been a long, unpredictable year. Through its ups and downs, Tola has learned that calm doesn’t always come from grand moments or perfect plans. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a chilled sip of Chivita after a busy day, a quiet reminder that she’s doing just fine.
During Detty December, family and friends take center stage. As Tola lounges by the pool with her husband and close friends, watching her kids laugh and play in the compound, a smile spreads across her face—surrounded by all the people who truly matter, she feels a rare, joyful calm.
For Tola, reflection isn’t about counting wins or losses; it’s about savoring shared laughter, discovering calm in everyday moments, and finding the strength to keep showing up, even amidst the holiday hustle.
With another refreshing sip of Chivita, she quietly promises to be more present, to celebrate the little joys, and to treasure these fleeting Detty December moments with her loved ones.
Because amid the holiday noise, a peaceful pause, and a sip of Chivita while catching up with those who matter, can be all you need to reset.
And just like that, our Everyday Moments with Chivita series closes on a gentle, heartwarming note: a reminder that life’s sweetest moments often live in the simplest sips, shared with family, friends, and the festive spirit of the season.
