Here's Proof the Holidays Are Always Nicer with the Real Housewives

Earlier this month, Teresa Giudice talked to the New York Post about what she was going to cook when hosting Christmas Eve at her house this year. “I think I do more than seven fishes,” she said, referencing the Feast of the Seven Fishes. “We do baccala in red sauce and baccala with olive oil and vinegar... I put octopus in my red sauce for the main dish of our pasta.” As The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member later proved via her Instagram Stories, that was just a small sample of what she planned to prepare.

When the holiday arrived, Teresa shared a full look at her incredible meal. In addition to the aforementioned dishes, there was a charcuterie board, baked clams, shrimp, mussels, and more. Teresa also showed a peek at the dessert for the evening, which included her beloved pignoli cookies courtesy of Jennifer Aydin

Teresa told The Post that her daughters, Gia, Milania, Gabriella, and Audriana, set the table for the dinner, and as evidenced in her Instagram Stories, they did a stunning job this year. The festive tablescape included red and white flowers, a black tablecloth, and black-and-gold dinnerware.

The home was beautifully decorated for the holiday with stockings above the fireplace and multiple glowing Christmas trees (including the white pampas tree Teresa showed off earlier this month). 

The family members, including Luis “Louie” Ruelas and one of his sons, all donned coordinated outfits for the special occasion in a chic combination of red, black, and emerald hues.
