BEVERAGE SUGGESTIONS TO PROMOTE THE SPIRIT OF HOLIDAYS

This season, "Stellabrate" the holidays with Stella Rosa’s sparkling Imperiale line. Impress guests by treating them to America’s favorite Italian wine, and pop open Stella Rosa Prosecco with refreshing notes of pear and lemon. Add a fruity twist to sparkling wine with Rosso Lux, bursting with strawberry notes, or for something even richer try Black Lux with juicy blackberry, blueberry and raspberry flavors. There is something for everyone! They also come in special holiday tins perfect for gift giving, as well as minis, perfect for a fun stocking stuffer or to serve individually to guests. They are also perfect to use to make delicious cocktails. For fun recipes, go to stellarosa.com.

HACKS TO HELP MAKE ENTERTAINING EASIER

When throwing a holiday party, every detail matters. A great secret is using Bounty, the Quicker Picker Upper. Its strength and absorbency makes it the go-to paper towel for holiday entertaining. A kitchen hack that may not have been thought of is to wrap a wet sheet or two of Bounty around room temperature bottles and put them in the freezer for a faster way to chill beverages before guests arrive. Another Quicker Picker Upper hack is to thoroughly clean cast iron skillets by pouring a cup of coarse kosher salt into a still-warm pan and scrub off any stuck-on food with a Bounty paper towel, no shredding here! Rinse the pan with hot water and place another sheet of Bounty inside the cast-iron skillet to soak up excess moisture and prevent it from rusting. For more information, visit bountytowels.com.

GREAT TIME-SAVING HOLIDAY DESSERTS

During the holiday season, time-saving ideas are always very important. An effortless way to bring the sweet this season is with Edwards Desserts.
