Katie is back with her husband Ryan, and the two are diving into all their holiday favorites as the season kicks into full swing. It’s already been a whirlwind in the Biegel house—Katie just hosted a cookie exchange with some of New York’s top women in food, inspired by her Aunt Pat’s legendary church-cookie exchange party, and now they’re gearing up for their annual holiday bash. Expect the classics (ham, shrimp cocktail, martinis) alongside their new, totally over-the-top traditions: an ice luge for peppermint shots, chicken nuggets topped with caviar, and fancy jelly shots. Katie admits Christmas used to be one of her least favorite holidays, but thanks to Ryan, it’s become one she looks forward to all year long. And of course, the biggest question remains… will Christmas dinner be prime rib or ham? Tune in to find out! Produced by Dear Media .

Katie is joined by Jordan and Adam Sager, her co-founders of Kind of Wild Wines and co-presidents of Winesellers Ltd., a family-owned wine import company their father started in Chicago back in 1978. Together, they had the same realization—if they cared about eating organic, why shouldn’t they be drinking organic too? That idea inspired the creation of Kind of Wild Wines, their label that’s proudly organic, zero-sugar, additive-free, and sustainably farmed. In this episode, they pull back the curtain on what’s really in your wine (including the shocking fact that up to 70 additives can be legally used), clear up the confusion around sulfites, and share their favorite holiday wine pairings (like sparkling cava with ham), so you can sip smarter this season. It’s an eye-opening and lively conversation that just might change the way you think about what’s in your glass. Use the code: Table25 for a 25% listener discount on Kind of Wild Wines.

Katie is solo today with a heartfelt episode as she closes an important chapter — The Kitchen on Food Network has officially come to an end after an incredible 12 years, 40 seasons, and 534 episodes. She shares the behind-the-scenes story of how she landed the position after nearly seven years of trying to break into Food Network, including the audition where she had to make her ultimate PB&J (she went all-in on the classic white-bread, sugary-jelly version she always wished for as a kid). Katie reflects on favorite memories with her co-hosts, how the show led her to meeting her husband Ryan, and what she hopes to cook up next in the food media world. Most importantly, she sends a huge thank-you to the listeners and fans who made this ride such a joy every single day. Produced by Dear Media .
