The Holiday Hosting Survival Kit

Host the holidays without losing your mind (or your whole weekend).

The Holiday Hosting Survival Kit is a 12-page printable planner that walks you through Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, Christmas, and New Year's step by step. You get a plan for every part of it: the first invite, the grocery run, the oven schedule, and the last dish in the dishwasher.

Made here at Hackberry Road, because the best gatherings are the ones where the host gets to sit down too.

What's inside

• The Gathering at a Glance: date, budget, helpers, and your top 3 priorities, plus a "Things I'm letting go of" box
• 3-Week Countdown: bite-sized checklists from 3 weeks out to the big day
• Guest & Dietary Tracker: RSVPs, allergies, who's bringing what, and seating
• Menu Planner: every course, who's making it, and what can be made ahead
• Grocery List: split into 8 store sections so you only walk the store once
• Day-Of Timeline: work backward from dinnertime, with an oven and stove column
• Clean & Reset Plan: the guest-ready clean, the 15-Minute Panic Pickup, and a leftovers log
• Gift Budget Tracker: set the number, track spending, and check off bought and wrapped
• Cozy Coffee & Tea Bar: a setup checklist, the order to arrange it in, and a brewing cheat sheet
• Thank-Yous & Next Year: a thank-you note tracker and notes so next year is even easier
