It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and now we know how Melissa Gorga will be spending Christmas Eve. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member stopped by Peacock’s Reality Hot Seat on Dec. 7 and revealed that she and Teresa Giudice will be celebrating Christmas Eve together as they start this new chapter for their family.
“Yes, we will at my house. It’s a Christmas miracle,” she said. “We need this time in this healing moment… I’m hosting Christmas Eve at my house. We do the seven fishes.”
When asked what Teresa might bring to dinner that night, Melissa joked, “Probably pignoli cookies,” she said. But Melissa did note that she’ll also be having sprinkle cookies on the menu. At the end of the day, Melissa did reiterate that these days, no matter what, “We’ve made amends.”
This is the latest insight we have into the Gorgas’ holiday plans. Melissa spoke with The Daily Dish at BravoCon 2025, where she detailed her plans for Thanksgiving. “You know, I go to my sister’s every year for Thanksgiving, and we have not figured out Christmas yet,” she said. “We’re not there yet. We’re almost there.”
It looks like Christmas Eve is now on the books officially. It’s the latest get-together for Melissa and Teresa after the duo, as well as their families, including their husbands, Joe Gorga and Luis “Louie” Ruelas, put their drama behind them after years of estrangement.

When speaking to The Daily Dish last month, she revealed what’s in store for her next as we approach the new year. “New Year’s resolution for me, every year I always say this for me, it’s just about leveling up business-wise,” she admitted. “For me, I always give myself a goal, and I hit it, usually of just how I can build the business a little bigger, how I can level it up a little bit. So that’s what I do.”

Teresa has also been excited about mending fences with Melissa and Joe, as well as reconnecting with their kids: Antonia Gorga, Gino Gorga, and Joey Gorga Jr.
“I’m so grateful, and I’m so happy that, you know, because of all the attention, the kids haven’t seen each other,” she said. “I love my nephews. One of them is my godson, Gino. And Antonia is the only niece that I have on my brother’s side. So I have a lot of nieces on my other side, my ex-husband’s side. But she’s my blood. So, I want them in my life.”
