Quick check-in: How much water have you drunk today? Before you keep reading, bookmark this page and go refill your beloved thermos (seriously, do it!). Okay, welcome back. People generally drink more fluids in the summer versus the winter, and yet research shows that your body loses just as much water during the colder months, in part due to more time spent indoors, where dry heated air can leech water from your skin. Pile on a packed holiday schedule, and tanking up is more important than ever this time of year. Enter: the KISSAIR countertop ice maker and Primo Deluxe water dispenser, two holiday hydration essentials on major sale right now.
Primo Deluxe Bottom Load Black and Stainless Water Dispenser — $99.00
Originally $248, currently 60 percent off for $99
- Sleek, minimalist design that can fit in small spaces
- Hot, cool, and cold filtered options make upping your water intake easy
- Bottom-loading feature makes replacing jugs hassle-free
- Stainless-steel water reservoir prevents bacteria growth
- Pricey when not on sale (but worth the investment)
Holiday hydration essential #1: the KISSAIR Ice Maker
ICYMI, nugget ice is having a moment (as in, a 120-million-posts-on-TikTok moment). You can get in on the trend *and* keep everyone under your roof well hydrated with the KISSAIR countertop ice maker. At less than one square foot, this portable gadget can fit anywhere—and a convenient carrying handle lets you tote it around for any hosting or lounging occasion this season. Don’t be fooled by its size, though—the ice maker’s high-quality compressor allows it to produce up to 26 pounds of nuggets in 24 hours. And its user-friendly self-cleaning function (you just hold the on-off switch for five seconds, and voilà) makes serving a crowd worry-free and effortless.
Add it to water (please, please drink your water), a morning brew (looking at you, year-round iced coffee drinkers), or your favorite batched holiday cocktail—or try one of the gazillion flavored ice recipes you’ve seen on your social feed and consider it an all-day snack.
And by the way, the KISSAIR countertop ice maker makes for a thoughtful and unexpected gift, too—grab it while it’s 58 percent off at Walmart for your glued-to-TikTok cousins, your dad who *never* drinks water, or your bestie who’s the queen of last-minute hosting.
Holiday hydration essential #2: the Primo Water Dispenser
Pair your countertop ice maker with a similarly sleek and minimalist water dispenser—it’s a hydrating match made in heaven. The Primo Deluxe filtering system delivers hot, cool, and cold water, so there’s a temp for every kind of sipper in your house. (And if you have kids at home who’d be tempted by shiny buttons right at eye level, don’t fret: The dispenser includes push-button controls with a child-safety option.)

The bottom-loading feature of your own personal hydration station makes refills accessible—no fear of spillage or pulling your lower back included. Most three- or five-gallon containers of water fit seamlessly into the dispenser, but it’s worth stocking up on Primo Water’s jugs, which undergo a multi-step reverse osmosis process to ensure every cup is pure, refreshing, and free of contaminants. Once the jugs are loaded, the internal stainless-steel water reservoir is designed to help prevent bacteria growth.
The Primo Deluxe water dispenser is a bit of an investment, for sure (although it’s hard to put a price tag on hydration)—so order it now while it’s a whopping $150 off at Walmart and watch how your water intake skyrockets as you head into the holiday season (your body is already thanking you). Then tell all your friends to get in on the trend—or invite them over to try out your new holiday hydration essentials for themselves. Cheers.
