The holidays are around the corner, and Giada De Laurentiis is showing how to kick off the fall and winter holiday season with a festive open house. She gets her guests in the spirit by serving delicious autumn-inspired food, including Chai Chocolate Truffles, White Velvet Soup, Spicy Cocktail Puffs and Jam Cocktails. Then, she sends her guests home with "Holiday Survival Kits" full of essentials for a productive and happy holiday season.

Giada De Laurentiis hosts a cocktail-style Thanksgiving celebration to honor and thank her closest friends. Rather than a sit-down dinner, all the dishes are appetizer-sized versions of beloved holiday dishes, like Stuffing Arancini, Turkey Waldorf Bites, Charred Brussels Sprout Crostini and a Mulled Cosmo cocktail.
