As we start to see holiday gatherings return this season, I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like her hosting skills are a little rusty. The platters and serving bowls are tucked far away in the back of cabinets, and the nicer wine glasses are a little dusty. The athleisure side of my wardrobe has grown infinitely, and my go-to hairstyle these days is a 30-second messy bun. When planning our December issue, we knew this scenario probably described a lot of our readers—so enter our 2021 Guide to Holiday Hosting. From surprisingly simple appetizers to table decor inspo to 5-minute hostess hair updos (because let’s admit, we will all still probably be running late), this guide is meant to help us all brush up on our skills and make things go as smoothly as possible. Check out the guide on page 18.
For those hosts looking to skip the appetizer cooking, consider Lancaster’s hottest new trend, Graze. Go behind-the-scenes with Graze on page 16.
Prefer to take a day trip for some festive fun? Turn to page 8 for this month’s Talk of the Town which takes you on a trip to Bethlehem, PA. Find even more ideas for the holidays on page 32 with our Holiday Fun Spotlights.
However you decide to spend it, we are wishing you a safe and happy holiday season!
