Holiday Family Traditions

Ready to make this holiday season one for the memory books? From picture-perfect holiday homes and cozy family traditions to festive sips, sweet treats, gifts, glam and game-day fun, Family Entourage is bringing fresh inspiration to the traditions that make Christmas special!

TREE-MENDOUS HOLIDAY HOME

Some of our favorite family memories happen at home, and the little details that make each season feel special are often what we look forward to most. From welcoming fall with seasonal greenery and beautiful touches around the house to transforming every room for Christmas, Balsam Hill has become a staple in creating a home that feels warm, inviting, and ready for whatever the season brings. But if there’s one time of year we love dressing up our home most, it’s Christmas!

For our family, decorating isn’t just about making things look beautiful; it’s about creating the backdrop for the traditions we treasure. It’s the excitement of bringing out the Christmas tree, finding the perfect spot for a favorite ornament, adding garland to the mantel, and watching the kids get excited as the house transforms. Balsam Hill makes it easy to bring that storybook holiday feeling home, with everything from remarkably lifelike trees and lush greenery to festive accents that make every space feel special.

Every family has its own Christmas tree traditions, and finding the right centerpiece makes all the difference. Balsam Hill’s Most Realistic Christmas Trees are designed to capture the beauty and character of natural evergreens, with lifelike branches, beautiful silhouettes, and a variety of sizes, shapes, and lighting options. It’s easy to see why they’re a favorite of professional set designers, too! Balsam Hill trees and décor have helped bring the holiday settings of beloved Hallmark movies to life and have been part of the brand’s partnerships with iconic names including Macy’s and its Thanksgiving Day Parade.

One of the things we love most is that seasonal decorating doesn’t have to begin and end with Christmas. Balsam Hill offers seasonal home décor and greenery that can bring warmth and personality to the home throughout the year, including fall-inspired wreaths, garlands, foliage, and accents. When Christmas arrives, it’s time to layer on the festive details! Dress the front door with a welcoming holiday wreath, add lush garlands to staircases and mantels, and incorporate potted greenery and seasonal arrangements throughout the home.

And don’t forget the little traditions that make the countdown just as exciting as Christmas morning. From charming advent calendars and illuminated Christmas villages to ornaments, stockings, tabletop trees, and festive accents, there are so many ways to make every corner feel merry.

Because at the end of the day, it’s not simply about decorating a home; it’s about creating a place where family gathers, traditions take shape, movie nights become memories, and the season feels a little more magical year after year.

HOLIDAY SIPS & SWEET TREATS

Make holiday hosting a little more delicious with Cuisinart! From festive sips and seasonal coffee creations to homemade favorites fresh from the oven, discover inspiration for making every gathering a little more special. Start the day with something worth savoring using the Grind & Brew Single Serve Coffee Maker, which freshly grinds whole coffee beans with its built-in stainless steel conical burr mill just before brewing. Customize your cup strength and size, from 8 to 24 ounces, or switch to the Over Ice setting for a refreshing holiday-inspired iced coffee. Whether it’s a cozy peppermint mocha, a cinnamon-spiced morning brew, or a little afternoon indulgence, it’s an easy way to bring coffeehouse-style creations home for the holidays.

And what’s a holiday celebration without something festive to sip? Elevate your seasonal entertaining with the Cuisinart Nugget Ice Maker, bringing restaurant-style, chewable nugget ice right to your countertop. Ready to make its first batch in just eight minutes and producing up to 36 pounds of ice a day, it’s a perfect addition to your holiday hosting lineup. Think sparkling cranberry mocktails, Christmas-inspired punch, refreshing iced coffees, and beautifully chilled drinks for guests of all ages. With its convenient countertop design, removable ice basket, and self-cleaning function, keeping the holiday refreshments flowing has never been easier.

Then turn the kitchen into the heart of the holidays with Cuisinart’s Stackable Ceramic Nonstick Bakeware, a five-piece collection made for baking, sharing, and creating memories. From its muffin pan and loaf pan to the baking sheet, roasting pan, and cooling rack, this versatile set has the essentials for everything from Christmas cookies and homemade muffins to freshly baked holiday breads and savory favorites. The heavy-gauge steel construction promotes even baking, while the PFAS-free ceramic nonstick interior makes releasing treats and cleaning up a breeze. And when the baking is done, the stackable design makes storage simple.

Whether you’re baking treats for Santa, hosting a neighborhood cookie exchange, preparing homemade gifts for friends, or gathering everyone around the table for a little holiday indulgence, Cuisinart brings together the thoughtful touches that make the season memorable. Because the sweetest holiday traditions aren’t just about what’s on the menu — they’re about the moments, memories, and delicious things we share!

GIFTS, GLAM & GAME TIME

One of our favorite ways to celebrate the holiday season is by slowing down, getting creative, and making memories together as a family! BaubleBar brings extra sparkle to the season with festive kids’ craft kits and personalized holiday favorites that make gifting and family activities even more special.

We love the DIY Christmas Ornament Kit which lets kids create keepsakes to hang on the tree, and the DIY Gingerbread Kit, a fun way to bring a little holiday magic to the craft table without the mess of baking. The Bookmark Craft Kit is another creative activity that’s perfect for holiday gatherings, playdates, or a cozy afternoon at home. These make great gifts that also double as activities to do together.You can also keep the holiday excitement going with game-day-inspired accessories and crafts for football Sundays. We love that they come with everything that you need. 

BaubleBar Activity Kits

There’s something extra special about giving a gift that feels like it was made just for someone, and BaubleBar makes personalized holiday gifting fun, stylish, and memorable! From customizable totes perfect for carrying everything from school essentials to holiday adventures to personalized jewelry that lets kids and adults show off their names, initials, and unique style, there are so many thoughtful ways to make gifting feel personal.

We especially love BaubleBar’s custom Nutcracker and Candy Cane ornaments, which add a meaningful touch to the Christmas tree and become keepsakes families can treasure year after year. Whether we’re shopping for grandparents, teachers, best friends, or our own kids, these personalized finds are a fun way to give something that’s both practical and special. After all, the best holiday gifts aren’t always the biggest ones — they’re the ones that make someone smile because they were chosen just for them!
