The holiday season is a magical time, full of laughter, delicious food, and quality time with the people you love. However, it also often comes with its fair share of stress. Between planning meals, hosting loved ones, and keeping the house in order, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But don’t worry – Jow is here to help! With these six sanity-saving tips, you can keep your cool, enjoy the festivities, and create long-lasting memories.
1. Plan Your Menus
Nothing derails a holiday gathering like last-minute stress about the food. Avoid the chaos by leaning on Jow to map out the menu and handle the grocery shopping. Click here to get started.
2. Delegate Like a Pro
Your guests want to help – so let them! Assign tasks like setting the table, bringing appetizers, or even handling dessert. Hosting doesn’t mean you have to do everything yourself, and sharing responsibilities makes the event feel more collaborative. Want to involve your kids, too?

3. Prep Ahead
Small preparations can make a big difference! Set the table, pre-mix sauces, or even bake desserts a day or two ahead of time to ensure you’re not stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is enjoying themselves.
4. Create a Cozy Atmosphere with Minimal Effort
A welcoming home doesn’t need to be Pinterest-perfect. Play some holiday music and focus on adding simple, thoughtful touches like candlelight and seasonal scents.
5. Keep Snacks at the Ready
Hungry guests (or hosts!) can lead to frayed nerves, so it’s wise to keep snacks at the ready to stave off pre-dinner munchies. Cheese, crackers, and nuts are always good options, and Jow has many delicious snack recipes, from crostini to candied nuts to chicken wings.
6. Take Time for Yourself
Carve out moments to breathe, sip your coffee, or enjoy a quiet walk. Jow is here to take the stress out of meal planning and grocery shopping, so you can fully enjoy the holidays. After all, you deserve to savor the season as much as anyone else!
