Southern Lady Holiday 2026

Lavish amounts of color and joy make festivities merry and bright in Southern Lady’s magnificent Holiday issue. Drawing upon current design trends and a deep sense of nostalgia, the editors have pulled together a bold blend of vibrant décor, dreamy destinations, artful tablescapes, and delicious fare to inspire your celebrations throughout the months of November and December. You’ll find dazzling Christmas trees adorned with vintage ornaments in the home of Leben Riebe and venture to Paris to bask in the golden glitz of a French Yuletide. Returning stateside, explore the Magic City at the heart of Alabama, and peek inside a Georgia mountain retreat constructed to look just like Rosehill Cottage from the iconic film The Holiday. Dressmaker Kim Lolley reveals a new collection just in time for seasonal soirées, and artist Kathryn Hastings introduces her first book. Finally, no holiday issue would be complete without delicious fare to share with family and friends.
