"FIRST Ugly Sweater Birthday/Christmas Party in the new house is in the books!!!" Candiace wrote in the caption of her December 16 Instagram post, which featured a series of captures from the festivities, including an "ugly sweater" fashion show, a stand-out serenade, and a sweet photo with her husband, Chris Bassett.

She added in her post, "What a fun night! I was afraid that in a bigger house, the party wouldn’t feel the same: chill, fun and litty, but it was!! Thank you to all who partied with us, donated to our coat drive and brought me gifts. I said no gifts!"

RHOP's Askale Davis, who attended the stylish soiree along with Dr. Wendy Osefo, commented on the post, "So. Much. Fun." And, as evidenced by both Askale, Candiace, and Wendy's shared posts, it was a very merry event full of dancing, singing, and serving festive looks in Santa hats and "ugly" sweaters. And, of course, no Candiace party would be complete without her single, "Drive Back," playing through the evening.

Askale couldn't help but highlight the fun her RHOP trio had at the birthday bash with a series of photos and video showing her, Candiace, and Wendy striking glamorous poses and flaunting their holiday style for the party's 360-degree camera. She wrote in the caption of her post, "Last night, at [Candiace's] Ugly Christmas Sweater Birthday Party. I had such a blast!"

Wendy's hubby, Eddie Osefo, also accompanied her to the birthday bash, and took to Instagram to share a fun snapshot from the night. "Holiday Shenanigans with my boo thang," he wrote in the caption of his post, which captured a cute photo of the couple in all their "ugly" sweater glory.

Wendy also shared a sweet series of photos and videos with her RHOP ladies. "Ugly Sweaters [and] High Bun," she wrote in the caption, to which Askale replied, "Such good times!"
