Arielle Vandenberg: Holiday Traditions, Tamale Making, and a Covid-19 Christmas

Happy Holidays, Lo Lifers! On this week’s episode actress, comedian, and Love Island host Arielle Vandenberg, joins Lo on the podcast for a lighthearted and hilariously festive episode. Lo cohosted The Only Child podcast with Arielle and a reunion episode has been a popular request from our listeners. We are giving the people what they want. The two longtime friends talk all about holiday traditions, odd Christmas gifts and favorite family memories of years past. 

Lo and Arielle discuss their love of tamales, his mama - the Queen’s secret family recipe, and the intensive preparation that goes into making 960 tamales (yes, that’s the correct number) every year. We hear about Arielle’s impressive talents in the kitchen (she’s the next Chrissy Teigen) and her favorite recipes which may or may not include tarts. Plus, we get a solo dive into your host’s favorite Love Actually scene that instantly brings him to tears. We find out about a potential third season of Love Island, and we learn what was on Arielle and Lo’s childhood Christmas List to Santa from giant snow leopards to dolls with hidden secrets. 

We wish all of our listeners a wonderful holiday, no matter how you’re celebrating this year. We hope today’s podcast brings you the holiday joy you need even if you can’t be with your loved ones!
