Enjoy the Holidays with GetSetUp

The leaves are turning, the air is getting crisp, and the end of the year is coming into view. December is a season of transition, a natural moment to reflect on how far you've come, take stock of where you are, and set your sights on what's ahead. And there is no better time to invest in yourself.

GetSetUp has put together five thoughtfully curated learning series this season, covering your health, creativity, finances, digital skills, and holiday celebrations. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and help you finish the year feeling your very best.

Here is everything that's waiting for you.

Care for Yourself This Season: Stay Mindful and Moving Through the Holidays

Before the holiday rush fully arrives, let's start with the most important thing — you.

The holiday season fills up fast. Between gatherings, travel, family, and end-of-year demands, self-care is often the first thing to go. Our Stay Mindful and Moving Through the Holidays series is here to make sure that doesn't happen this year.

Through gentle movement practices, accessible mindfulness techniques, and simple stress-management tools, this series helps you stay grounded, active, and well no matter how busy the season gets. These aren't complicated routines that require hours of your day. They are small, sustainable habits that fit naturally into your life and build on each other over time.

Whether you're looking for ways to manage holiday stress, stay active during the colder months, or find a few moments of calm each day, this series is for you. The goal is simple: to help you enjoy the season fully rather than simply survive it, and to carry those healthy habits right into the new year feeling refreshed and ready.

Embrace the Beauty of the Season: Holiday Art, Food, and Music

With your well-being taken care of, there is space to do something purely joyful, and the holidays are one of the most inspiring times of the year to get creative.

Our Holiday Art, Food, and Music series invites you to slow down, look around, and celebrate everything that makes fall so special. From the warm colors of changing leaves to the cozy feelings of the season, this series brings it all to life with fall- and holiday-inspired crafts, seasonal decorating ideas, and creative projects anyone can enjoy anywhere in the country.

Whether you're in a small town in the Midwest watching the maples turn gold, on the East Coast feeling the first real bite of autumn air as it moves into winter, or in the Southwest soaking up the last warm days of the year, the spirit of the season is universal. And this series meets you right there.

Whether you're making something for your home, creating a gift for someone you love, or simply exploring a creative outlet for the first time, this series is your open invitation to embrace the season. No experience needed just a love of autumn as it moves into winter and a willingness to try something new.

Set Yourself Up for Financial Success: Financial Goals for the Year Ahead

As autumn's creative energy shifts into winter, December also brings something else: the quiet realization that the year is almost over. And that makes it the perfect moment to think seriously about your finances.

Our Financial Goals for the Year Ahead series is designed for exactly this time of year. As the holiday spending season arrives and the calendar flips to January, this series helps you pause, reflect on your financial progress, and build a clear, confident plan for what comes next.

You'll explore practical strategies for setting realistic goals, strengthening your saving and spending habits, and making thoughtful decisions about your financial future, all in an encouraging, judgment-free environment. Whether you're approaching retirement, already retired and managing a fixed income, or simply looking to feel more in control of your day-to-day spending, this series has something valuable to offer.

From budgeting basics to longer-term financial planning, these classes are designed to be practical, accessible, and immediately useful because the best time to plan for a stronger financial future is right now.

Honor How Far You've Come: Celebrate Your Tech Journey

As you reflect on the year, one more area deserves recognition: your technology skills.

Think about everything you've learned and accomplished this year. Maybe you mastered a video call with family across the country, explored a new app that made your daily life easier, learned to stay safer online, or even took your first steps into the world of artificial intelligence. That progress is real, meaningful, and worth celebrating.

Our Celebrate Your Tech Journey series is a chance to acknowledge how far you've come and to keep the momentum going into the year ahead. Through this series, you'll build on the digital skills you've already developed, deepen your understanding of online safety and security, and continue exploring the exciting tools and technologies shaping everyday life.

From smartphones and tablets to AI tools and online communication platforms, technology is changing fast, and GetSetUp is here to make sure you never get left behind. Whether you're a beginner or growing more confident by the day, this series meets you exactly where you are.
