Holiday rewind! Let’s talk holiday parties! …fun drinks included

We love holiday parties, especially when we’re surprised and delighted by little special touches created by the hosts. From custom-designed cocktails to gorgeous decor, as guests it’s always fun to have something unique to discuss with the other guests (especially if we don’t know each other). And honestly, it makes us feel more special as guests that the hosts took time out of their busy lives to make their event a little more special.

So we’re talking with some of our favorite experts in interior decor, drink design, festive food, and innovative desserts to help us throw the ultimate holiday parties.
