The holidays are here, and this week’s episode of Live! with Fefe & Freddy brought all the love, laughter, chaos, and honesty that comes with the season. From Friendsgiving prep disasters to traditional family dinners, we opened up about what this time of year actually feels like — not the picture-perfect, magazine-ready version, but the real, messy, human experience.

Fefe shared her family Thanksgiving highlights, complete with kids, food, and the annual green-bean-casserole debate. Freddy took us deep into the marathon that was Friendsgiving prep — desserts, turkey brining, bacon butter, last-minute guests, forgotten appetizers, and the emotional weight of managing it all. If you’ve ever tried to host a holiday meal, you’ll feel this one in your soul.

We also talked about:
• How to handle holiday stress without losing yourself
• Why boundaries matter more than ever this season
• Gift expectations with kids and teens
• Navigating work deadlines during December
• The value of taking breaks, saying no, and choosing peace
• Community updates and moments that made us laugh the hardest

This episode is your reminder that you’re not alone. Whether your holidays look magical, chaotic, stressful, joyful, or all of the above — you are doing your best, and that is enough.
