Holidays 2025

november // december

​​

Wrap yourself in the wonder of the season with our Holiday 2025 edition, on shelves now through January! Both issues celebrate the spirit of giving with our Merry Makers feature, spotlighting locals spreading joy and kindness, plus a festive guide to the best shops, dining, and experiences of the season.

​

In Rochester, our cover story shines on DL Home & Garden, where inspiration for every room and one-of-a-kind gifts help you create true holiday magic alongside Bindi, their beloved rescue cat (and our festive cover star). You’ll also find Ashley from The Crooked Crumble sharing her family recipe for Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie, Carrie from Hike & Stroll Rochester exploring snowy trails, and Katrina Hess and her family Making Spirits Bright with heartfelt DIYs and recipes.

​

In Buffalo, our cover features Megan Forness, building communities of women entrepreneurs one collective at a time. @peonyandlinen inspires homes that heal and traditions that last, while Justine Palkowski finds light on Lake Erie through her handmade coastal ornaments. Plus, curl up with our Book Club & Gift Guide and discover stories and makers bringing warmth and wonder to Western New York this holiday season.
