Lindsay, Founder + CEO
Every year, we have a Family Cookie Baking Day, where my brother, sister-in-law, parents, husband, and kids spend the day in the kitchen baking and making memories. Another cherished tradition is adopting a family for the holidays, which helps teach my kids about giving back and the true meaning of the season. We also started a Book Advent Calendar tradition where the kids unwrap a new book each night in December, and we read it together as a family. It's a simple but special ritual that has become one of our favorites!
Athena, Operations Manager
My favorite holiday tradition is putting up the Christmas Trees! The kids dress up in their new Christmas pajamas and we get all of the ornaments out, put on a Christmas movie or music, fix hot chocolate and make a fun evening of it. My favorite part is seeing the kids look through their ornaments year after year and talk about their memories of them and Christmas' past.
Clara, Director of Brand
We love kicking off the Christmas season with a festive Santa Brunch at our Country Club! It’s become a cherished tradition for our family. My boys get the chance to sit with Santa, share their Christmas wishes, and soak in the holiday magic. It’s always a heartwarming time, filled with unforgettable memories that we treasure year after year. Another special tradition we look forward to is on December 23rd, when we dedicate the whole day to baking and decorating homemade cookies for Santa. We have so much fun getting creative with icing and sprinkles.
Maura, Senior Marketing & Communications Manager
Our Christmas Eve starts with Mass, followed by my dad’s homemade gumbo, a family favorite. Afterward, we drive around to admire Christmas lights. On Christmas morning, we enjoy mimosas and cinnamon rolls before opening presents. One of our favorite traditions is my parents' annual gingerbread house competition, which they've hosted for my brother and his friends since they were kids. Even now, as they graduate from college, the tradition continues, complete with a trophy that’s awarded based on votes in our family chat! The winner takes it home ... until next year!
Emma, Marketing Manager
Christmas Eve dinner is always a special time for us! We gather around the table to enjoy a traditional meal, sharing stories and enjoying each other’s company as we get ready for Christmas Day. On Christmas morning, after opening gifts, we sit down for a relaxed brunch - with Monkey Bread as a starting appetizer, of course!
Lydia, Director of Growth Marketing
My favorite holiday activity is the process of decorating our home! My son loves to be involved, and looks forward to pulling out all of the ornaments, decor, and stockings each year. It reminds me of when I was little, and feels nostalgic seeing the same pieces year after year!
Ashley, Customer Experience Manager
One of our most cherished holiday traditions is baking and decorating gingerbread cookies together as a family. The kitchen fills with laughter and creativity, and it always leads to some of our best memories. Another meaningful part of our holiday season is attending Christmas Eve Mass. It’s a beautiful moment to pause, reflect, and fully embrace the true spirit of Christmas before all the festivities begin.
