As we all know – you can’t have Christmas without a delicious spread of tasty turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and all the other fixins.

Ever wonder who prepares all that yummy looking food you see in the movies? Introducing food stylist, Melissa McSorley.

“Jessie (Nelson, producer/director) wanted the comfort of a home meal,” McSorley explains. “Everybody has their favourite thing at the holidays as part of the meal, so we tried to make sure we hit all those things so everyone can have something they relate to.”
