Southern Lady Holiday 2026

Gather for the season in the pages of the Southern Lady Holiday issue. In her first Holiday issue as editor, Melissa A. Smith sends a heartfelt greeting of joy and glad tidings and invites you into her home, Turtledove Cottage, for Seasonal Settings, where Bernardaud Grenadiers porcelain sits beside antiques, blue-and-white Royal Delft porcelain, and storied nutcrackers. Find menu inspiration for your Thanksgiving meal in an elegantly prepared food feature, enjoy a Christmas bride story of how true love always wins in the end, and savor an array of Christmas tabletop color-drenching ideas in the In Bloom feature. With ideas to inspire your home décor, add joy to family gatherings, and help with seasonal fashion selections, this issue is a feast for the eyes and a perfect gift for the season.
