Eden McCoy shares what she loves most about the holiday season

The holiday season is typically a memorable time of the year for many Americans. McCoy talked to Soap Hub about some things she loves most about the holidays.

“The change in weather in L.A. for December is really nice – I like the cooler air and everything just feels fresh,” she explained. “I love walking my dog around my parents’ neighborhood where all the yards and houses have holiday lights and front yard displays – people really get into it where they live!”

In addition to her General Hospital work, McCoy is currently a student at the University of Southern California. Like lots of young adults her age, she gets to take some time off from classes and studying to celebrate the holidays.

“I also get a nice long break from school and sports for the holidays, so I have more time to reconnect with friends,” she continued. “And, of course, there’s the holiday drink menu that most coffee shops have!”

McCoy also enjoys some holiday traditions, such as making a gingerbread house with her mother and going through an advent calendar. She participates in Toys for Tots as well and donated multiple times this year.

Soap Hub also asked McCoy about her New Year’s Resolution, and the actor revealed a “problem” she would like to work on in 2022.

“Probably like a lot of us, I’m going to commit to healthier eating this year – more green smoothies and vegetable drinks, and I need to cut way back on sugar,” McCoy said. “My sweet tooth is a real problem. I get away with it because of volleyball workouts but I know it isn’t healthy for my insides.”

Additionally, the 18-year-old wants to improve her acting and work on more personal development goals.

“I also want to find time to take a really good acting workshop and read a classic book that isn’t for school,” she shared. “Right now I’m thinking I’ll choose Anna Karenina – I know it’s a tragic story but wow is it soapy. Also, I don’t know much about Russia and I’m currently fascinated by it for some reason.”
