5 Simple Ways to Celebrate the Festive Season 1. Baking We’re all looking for a little bit of normalcy in a year that has turned our lives upside down. Baking is a fun family activity that will stir up a bit of festive cheer. The smell of Christmas cookies in the oven will create a homey feel and the finished products will give you all a sense of accomplishment. The best part is, you get to enjoy some yummy homemade festive treats. 2. Get a Little Crafty Get those creative juices flowing by creating cards and decorations with some personal flair. Crafting will help take your mind off of all of your worries for a little bit. Your creation doesn’t have to be complicated, work with what you have and get everyone involved. Try using some recycled materials so you’re helping out the planet too – a double dose of good feels! You can take some inspiration from our previous DIY Décor Ideas blog, simply use some wrapping paper or holiday-themed trinkets to make them more festive. 3. Keep in Touch Small gatherings are going to be common this festive season with most people opting for more intimate family celebrations. This being said, keeping in touch with the people that matter in our lives is so important. A video call with extended family or close friends can make the distance between you more bearable, and brighten up your day and theirs. Since many of us may have had to switch international travel plans for local trips, you may want to think of some creative ways to get the overseas family involved in your festivities. 4. Watch Christmas Movies Spending an afternoon or evening watching Christmas movies is a must! (You could also spread out your movie marathon over the course of a week.) Let each family member choose a favorite holiday flick to watch with the family. Cuddle up under blankets with a warm cup of cocoa and some popcorn to make it feel extra special. 5. Family Recipes The tastes and smells of good recipes passed down from generation to generation can be a real pick-me-up. It’s extra special to share these with younger members of the family and get them involved in the process. Whether it’s the perfect roast or a special ingredient in great granny’s bread and butter pud, that personal touch will bring back memories and provide a great topic for conversation – depending on how willing you are to share your precious recipes. .................................................................................................

Preparing to Host Thanksgiving at Home: A Stress-Free Guide Thanksgiving is a cherished time for family and friends to gather, share a meal, and create lasting memories. Hosting can be a delightful experience, but it requires careful planning. Here’s a guide to help you prepare for a successful Thanksgiving celebration. 1. Plan Your Menu Start by deciding on your menu. Traditional dishes like turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce are favorites, but don’t hesitate to incorporate family recipes or new items. Create a shopping list to ensure you have all the ingredients on hand. 2. Send Invitations Once your menu is set, invite your guests! Whether you opt for formal invitations or a simple group text, let everyone know what to expect. This also allows you to coordinate who will bring additional dishes or drinks. 3. Prepare Your Space Make your home welcoming and comfortable. Declutter your living areas and set up a designated dining space. Consider seating arrangements to ensure everyone feels included. A beautifully set table with seasonal decor adds a festive touch. 4. Cook Ahead To minimize stress on the day of the event, prepare as much as you can in advance. Many dishes, like casseroles and desserts, can be made the day before. Even chopping vegetables or marinating the turkey in advance can save you time. 5. Create a Timeline Establish a cooking schedule for Thanksgiving Day. Plan when to start roasting the turkey and when to prepare side dishes. Having a timeline helps keep everything on track, ensuring that everything is served hot and fresh. 6. Set Up a Drink Station Create a drink station with a variety of options—alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Consider a signature cocktail or mocktail for the occasion. Having drinks readily available keeps guests refreshed and encourages mingling. 7. Prepare for Cleanup Thanksgiving can be a messy affair, so be ready for cleanup. Have trash bags and recycling bins accessible, and enlist a few helpers to keep things tidy throughout the day. 8. Enjoy the Moment Lastly, remember to relax and enjoy the day. Embrace the joy of being surrounded by loved ones, and don’t stress over perfection. The most memorable moments often come from the imperfections. By following these tips, you’ll be well-prepared to host a Thanksgiving celebration that your guests will cherish. Happy hosting!

Hosting holiday parties can be fun, but with cleaning, cooking, and juggling guest time, it can also be stressful. 🎄🍽️ Whether you're hosting for a night or a week, these simple tips will help you stay festive and less frantic this season. 1️⃣ Prep in advance :: When planning your menu, consider food that can be prepared in advance, which will free you of some of the day-of cooking duties. Casseroles, soups, pasta bakes and cookie dough are great options as they freeze well and can be quickly reheated or baked fresh on the day of the event. 2️⃣ Embrace potluck :: A potluck-style dinner is a great option for larger groups. Not only will it save you time and money, but the variety of dishes will assuredly include something to please even the pickiest eaters in your group. Ask guests to bring their time-tested favorite holiday dish and watch their culinary competitiveness shine. Make sure to coordinate the menu, easily done with a shared spreadsheet or an app like Evite, to avoid duplicate items. 3️⃣ Set up self-service drinks :: Free yourself from refreshing people’s drinks by creating a festive drink station. Include alcoholic and non-alcoholic choices, along with mixers, glasses, ice and garnishes. 4️⃣ Enlist helping hands :: Want more of a full-service feel? Consider hiring outside help, such as a caterer, server or bartender, to make hosting easier. If you’re on a budget, look for high school or college students home on winter break who may be looking for short-term work. 5️⃣ Cut down on cleaning :: Most likely, your guests are only going to see a few rooms in your home – so why worry about the rest? Although you may feel the need to deep clean your entire place, you only really need to focus on main living areas, like the kitchen, dining room, living room and powder room. 6️⃣ Contain coats and boots :: If you’re lucky enough to celebrate the holidays in an area where you don’t need outerwear in December, this isn’t the tip for you. But for those of us in colder climates (read: Chicago), welcoming guests with coats and boots can be a hassle, creating mess and confusion when guests are coming and going. Consider setting up a portable coat rack and set up a designated basket for shoes near the front door or tucked away in a side room nearby. It’ll keep the entryway neat and prevent the familiar “digging through the coat pile on the bed” treasure hunt at the end of the night. 7️⃣ Consider disposable partyware :: For larger events or longer-term hosting duties, consider high-quality disposable plates, cups and cutlery – many that are made to look like the real thing – to cut down on dishwashing time.

You can feel it coming closer...The Holidays are around the corner! Whether you’re hosting, cooking, decorating or juggling all three, we’ve got you covered with some timely tips to make your family gatherings less stressful! 1.Prep Self-Serve Cocktails Don't stock your house like it was the neighborhood tavern! Decide on one or two festive picks (like spiked apple cider, Moscow mules, or Sangria) to prep ahead and let guests serve themselves from punch bowls. 2. Opt for No-Cook Appetizers Put together beautiful cheese and charcuterie boards instead of fussing over hot hors d’oeuvres. They’re delicious and can be assembled in minutes on pretty wooden, slate or marble cutting boards. Include an assortment of cured meats, cheeses, olives, crackers, grapes, spiced nuts and spreads! 3. Use Bagged Ice Start making ice a few days in advance and store it in resealable bags; use your freezer's Max Ice setting to speed up the process. Or ask guests to bring a bag or two. 4. Create a "Quick-Chill" Station Make a tub of salted ice water (one cup of salt per gallon of H2O) to chill bottles of wine and other drinks. It will also free up fridge space — just keep a few bar cloths by the tub for wiping drippy bottles. 5. Level Up Your Servingware To stay organized and avoid having to scramble, tag each dish with the name of the food that will be cooked and/or served in it (remove the stickers before filling!). 6. Fill Your Home With Festive Fragrance Don’t splurge on overpriced scented candles when you already have the aromas of the season sitting in your kitchen. Sliced citrus fruits, apples, cinnamon sticks, or spices like cloves will give the air cozy scent. Fill small bowls with fragrant pieces and display throughout your home. 7. Direct Food and Drink Traffic If you’re serving things buffet-style, keep drinks and food on opposite ends of the room to prevent gridlock. 8. Stock Up on To-Go Boxes Get new food storage containers that don’t cost a ton so you can send everyone home with leftovers without raiding your own supplies.
