Emily Simpson has professional party-planning experience, and it shows in the smorgasbord she whipped up for her holiday fete. In a December 19 Instagram Story, The Real Housewives of Orange County mom panned across an eye-popping spread she put out for her pals, and led her followers through a little "party planning 101." 

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Orange County on Peacock and the Bravo App.

Showing platters piled with fruits, cheeses, bread, salmon pinwheels, and more, Emily said, "So I'm having a Christmas party tonight with my girlfriends, and we're gonna do a gift exchange. And I threw together some vegetables and fruit and charcuterie, put it all together, threw it out on my island. Oh, and the desserts — you can't forget those. How does it look?"

Not too shabby, Emily! (Who can resist red-velvet cupcakes and petit fours shaped like presents?) 

The spread was ample enough to feed Santa and all his reindeers. And yes, there was wine to wash it all down — along with a soft drink that would make Kelly Dodd proud. During the gift exchange, guests including RHOC alum Lizzie Rosvek sipped Positive beverages. See inside the festivities, below:
