What is your most favorite holiday tradition?
Kelli
My most favorite holiday tradition is my family’s Christmas eve party. Every year, my family invites everyone we know to dress their holiday best and spend the night before Christmas singing carols, sipping cocktails and reading The Night Before Christmas.

Christmas dinner. Everyone makes something, we all pitch in! I always look forward to my Nana’s stuffing.

What is your favorite holiday dessert recipe to bake?
Kelli
My favorite holiday dessert to bake is coronation tarts. They are small butter tarts filled with raspberry jam and were originally served at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth!

What do you love most about the holidays?

I love the energy! The hustle and bustle of New York City shoppers, running into shops to score the best gifts, and buzzing to holiday parties looking GLAM!

Your best holiday shopping tips:
Kelli
HYDRATE! Wear comfortable shoes and keep your hands free! Make sure you pack (in your crossbody purse) a lip balm and hand cream. Jetting in and out of stores, your body experiences lots of climate changes and you don’t want your lips to chap or your hands to crack.
R&S
Cocktail of choice:
Kelli
A glass of rosé champagne.
R&S
Favorite pizza topping:
Kelli
Artichoke, spinach and cheese is my go-to.
