Rachael is showing you how to make the slow-cooked beef and polenta dinner she plans on making for her own family this Christmas! And speaking of family, Rach's sister, Maria, is sharing two family Christmas cookie recipes — and reminiscing with a few sweet stories. Plus, creative edible wreath appetizers from our culinary staffer, Jeanette.

Rachael has got a feast of holiday snacks today for Christmas Eve! She's serving up Eggplant Croquettes, Fried Stuffed Sage Leaves and her Grandpa's Artichokes. And party-planner-to-the-stars, Mary Giuliani, is ringing in 2021 early with her Carbonara Grilled Cheese Bites for New Year's Eve. Plus, a holiday performance by The Cringe, Rach + some special guests.
