The campaign invites us into the home of Leslie Odom Jr. along with his wife, actress Nicolette Robinson, and their two children as they unwrap gifts, share a warm family meal, and make long-lasting memories together. Showing us their love of getting dressed for the holidays, Christina Ricci makes a fashionable statement alongside her husband, hair stylist Mark Hampton, as they get glam for the holiday party season together and raise a glass in celebration.

The full season’s campaign is rounded out by a diverse supporting cast of creatives, industry influencers, and guest curators including Canadian comedian Lisa Gilroy, style influencers Mordechai and Sara Rubinstein, Merci Milo shop owner Caroline Rodrigues, author and Bonberi founder Nicole Berrie, outdoor enthusiast and Hike Clerb founder Evelynn Escobar, Yowie founder Shannon Maldonado, and canine style icon, Boobie Billie. The campaign, shot by photographer Jacob Pritchard, captures the ways each family celebrates the joyous season.
