As the festive season approaches, actress Rachel Brosnahan has recently unveiled her Thanksgiving plans alongside her husband, Jason Ralph. Notably, the couple is set to host an impressive number of guests in their New York home, traditionally welcoming between 15 to 22 people around the holiday table. Brosnahan, who is best known for her role in *The Marvelous Mrs Maisel*, has partnered with Ferrero Rocher to launch the brand’s *Raise A Rocher Holiday Countdown and Sweepstakes*, as well as to promote their limited-edition Cinnamon Spice chocolate squares.
Brosnahan, who describes the holiday period as her favourite time of year, believes that her sweet tooth made this collaboration with Ferrero Rocher a natural fit. “I am not a cook,” she admits, explaining that her husband takes the lead in the kitchen during their Thanksgiving celebrations. “I’m always in charge of dessert,” she added, highlighting her role in ensuring that the sweet finale to their sumptuous meal is nothing short of spectacular.
The actress and Ralph share a competitive spirit, especially when it comes to their holiday dishware. “I have a very exciting spread that I’m staring at right here that I’m excited to put together in a clever way,” Brosnahan revealed, expressing her enthusiasm for showcasing delightful dessert presentations as part of their holiday traditions.
Ralph’s signature dish for their Thanksgiving menu is a vegetarian Wellington, which has become a staple over the past couple of years. Despite not being a vegetarian herself, Brosnahan insists it is one of the most delicious meals she has ever eaten. “He’s quite upset that we’ve all fallen in love with it, because apparently it’s really labor-intensive,” she said, playfully acknowledging that it is now a fixture of their holiday celebrations.
In addition to delicious food and festive décor, Brosnahan shared her essential tips for reducing the stress that can accompany hosting large gatherings. She emphasised the importance of having supportive company, recalling that a helpful sous-chef or even a loyal dog can uplift the experience. Furthermore, she noted that a well-curated playlist can significantly enhance the atmosphere of any gathering.
Reflecting on her holiday experiences, Brosnahan mentioned that one of her fondest gifts came in the form of personalised pyjamas. “One year, I got a beautiful pair of soft pyjamas with my initials on them, and I have started gifting those to everyone in my life,” she recalled, noting that she enjoys sharing this comforting gift with her loved ones every couple of years.
Brosnahan’s childhood memories of holiday festivities are steeped in nostalgia, particularly those spent in the United Kingdom. “I’m half British and I used to spend the winter holidays in the U.K. with that side of my family,” she reminisced. She described family trips to Devon, where they would rent a cosy house, lighting fires and sharing meals together during the cold, wet winters. “It feels like you stepped into an old novel,” she mused, expressing her desire to recreate those cherished moments in her adult life.
For those wanting to indulge in some festive spirit this season, fans can participate in the *Raise A Rocher Holiday Sweepstakes*. The initiative runs until the end of the year, offering participants a chance to win exciting prizes, including a trip to New York City to ring in the New Year in Times Square.

As the couple prepares for yet another Thanksgiving filled with warmth, laughter, and delightful food, Brosnahan’s insights into her holiday traditions reveal a deep appreciation for family and festivity—true hallmarks of the season.
