The holiday season is here, and at SheKnows, we’re setting out to celebrate. While there is still much trepidation and uncertainty around what comes next in the pandemic, we’re holding onto the things that are certain to bring us joy — like Christmas music (check out cover star Trisha Yearwood’s exclusive playlist of favorite holiday songs) and family recipes (actress Vanessa Lachey and singer Lance Bass both share favorite festive dishes).
Speaking of the country legend and Food Network star, Yearwood is all about celebrating the season as well and chatted with SheKnows from her home in Nashville for our cover story. The “bonus mom” of three spoke to our Food and Living Editor about her marriage to Garth Brooks, becoming a stepmom, her new cookbook Trisha’s Kitchen: Easy Comfort Food for Family and Friends, and, naturally, what she’ll be making this holiday season.
You’ll find other treats in this issue as well, including a vegan appetizer recipe from Black Girls Eat’s LA Dunn, an essay from actress Candice King on blending families and holiday traditions, a video from chef José Andrés on his favorite dishes, and our editors’ picks for stocking stuffers and more.
We hope that this digital issue brings you joy and helps you make the most of the season. Happy holidays!
