Giada's Holiday Handbook

Autumn-inspired food, including chai chocolate truffles, white velvet soup, spicy cocktail puffs and jam cocktails.

A cocktail-style Thanksgiving celebration with appetizer-sized versions of beloved holiday dishes, like stuffing arancini, turkey Waldorf bites, charred brussels sprout crostini and a mulled cosmo cocktail.

Roasted fennel with parmesan; creamy lobster pasta; chocolate almond cheesecake; citrus berry vermouth spritz.

Indulgent desserts and sparkling cocktails, including orange mousse with ginger snap crumble, peppermint patty sandwich cookies, hazelnut torte with chocolate espresso frosting and lemon hazelnut spritz cocktails.

Giada treats her daughter Jade and friends to a party, where each guest makes their own gingerbread house; kid-friendly treats like s'mores popcorn, pizza grilled cheese, veggie forest with parmesan ranch dip and frozen hot chocolate affogatos.

Giada hosts a Christmas dinner for family and friends; on the menu, tortellini in parmesan brodo, risotto with clams, braised lamb shanks with escarole and radicchio and a chocolate candy cane tower.
