How Are the RHONY Ladies Feeling About the Reunion?

It's that time of year! Bethenny Frankel's kitchen was filled with sugar and spice on December 12, as The Real Housewives of New York City mother and her little girl whipped up batches of holiday treats. And even when a couple of toppings turned up missing, the bakers forged ahead in their mission to create holiday sweetness. 

How to Watch

Showing her daughter hard at work on a heart-shaped treat, Bethenny said in an Instagram Story: "We ran out of some of our letters. Holiday Elf's spelled the wrong way and three mutts — use a Z," she instructed. And in the end, the cookie still managed to convey its message.

Take a look at the colorful treat, below.
