Happy Festive season friends! 🥂🍾
The week of gluttony and laziness without guilt is finally here!
Appropriately, very little is officially “on”. So this edition focuses on some useful info: who’s open in Lagos over Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

A small note before you dive in — there will be no Freshly Squeezed next week. We’ll be fully embracing the cosiness of the Christmas black hole :). Wishing you a restful, indulgent, low-pressure week ahead. Cheers!
