For Leinonen, an ideal holiday gathering is anchored around creating an "intimate, comfortable and approachable atmosphere, regardless of itssize." She continues, "It's about simplicity and being fully present, focusing on enhancing the moment's sentimentality. The key is preparation, ensuring that things are ready in advance to keep it easy and stress-free. Pre-making signature cocktails in batches, having the wine open and decanted, and Champagne chilled and ready before guests arrive. Keeping lights dimmed, adding softly lit candles to cast a warm glow, and making sure the holiday table is decked out with festive bites, and sentimental home dishes."
