Chrissy Teigen emphasizes that holiday hosting doesn't have to be perfect. She’s learned to prioritize joy over perfection by finding shortcuts, like using canned cranberries, so she can enjoy more time with her family. "I used to be really hard on myself about wanting to make every single thing fully from scratch, and I don't have that kind of pressure anymore. I want to find joy in the holidays." For her, joy means taking the time to play games instead of stressing about cooking.
Teigen recommends embracing easier options to lessen the holiday stress. She mentions her shift towards using store-bought items like canned cranberry sauce, stating, "Once I let myself go and just resigned myself to being a canned cranberry gal, life became very easy." This mindset shift allows her to enjoy the hectic holiday moments while focusing on family and fun.
Teigen reiterates that making the holiday experience enjoyable is essential. She notes that instead of overwhelming herself with complex recipes, she aims for relaxed enjoyment: "I just want a slice of it [canned cranberry] over things. That's one big difference that I have this year is that I'm really happy with things that make my experience easier." Her approach showcases a balance between preparation and joy.
By simplifying her holiday cooking methods, Teigen encourages other hosts to adopt a similar philosophy. She explains the importance of reducing stress during the holidays: "I want to find joy in the holidays. I want to enjoy my family, enjoy the people that have chosen to be with us and enjoy all the little moments in between." This aligns with her newfound philosophy that holiday gatherings can be meaningful without the pressure of perfection.
