How to Host a
Holiday Party
With Chef Christian & Host
with the Most Madeleine
Forget the small talk: a party lives or dies by what’s on the table. That’s why we’ve built a menu that’s nostalgic, a little cheeky, and guaranteed to please a crowd.
That magical time when you invite too many people into your home, make more food than anyone could possibly eat, and smile through gritted teeth as your Aunt Carol asks why you’re still “experimenting” with your career.
Ah—
The Holidays
Step 1:
Plan the Menu
(or Pick a Dish to Bring)
No one remembers your cousin’s monologue about cryptocurrency. They remember the food. These dishes are steeped in nostalgia, but with way more flavor than the stuff you grew up with.
Step 2:
Don’t Forget the Gifts
Food may reign supreme, but showing up empty-handed is still a scandal. Our gift shop has grilling greats, foodie favorites, and a new mixtape box that say, “I actually tried,” instead of “I grabbed this at the gas station.”
Step 3:
Relax, It’s Just Food
Someone will spill. Someone will sing too loudly. Someone will cry into the fondue. And it’s all absolutely worth it to spend time with friends and family and sharing in that holiday joy of cooking and eating together.
