POPSUGAR Shout Out: December Must Haves!

By Kelsey Kennick

As we wave goodbye to Thanksgiving and the month of November, we welcome December with open arms. But everyone knows that with December comes cold weather and the scramble to purchase what seems like countless gifts. Instead of losing sleep over your holiday shopping list, why not let POPSUGAR help you make it through the gift-giving season? Our editors have compiled their must haves for the month of December, and they do not disappoint.

To satisfy the icy temperatures, POPSUGAR Fashion has pulled together a cozy lineup of outerwear: for your holiday parties, an arsenal of evening wear that'll make you the best-dressed guest — or hostess — and for those nights where curling up fireside (or couch-side) is the only thing on your mind, a perfect set of pj's. Oh, and in case a Winter getaway is on the itinerary, we've got you covered there, too.

What month has tons of future Oscar contenders, holiday specials on TV, and the Golden Globe nominations? December, of course! Before the madness begins, let's debrief on the most exciting things in entertainment that are about to happen. Check out all of POPSUGAR Entertainment's must-have picks for this month!

Sure, you're busy checking items off your holiday gift list, but POPSUGAR Moms is about to add a little fun (OK and a little confusion) to your plans. The end of the year brings a number of exciting new finds — for your little ones and you — that you'll want to get your hands on quickly.

It's the season of gift giving — which means you're probably so burned out about talking about the "perfect present." So POPSUGAR Beauty decided to take a break from all that holiday cheer to simply discuss the hot, new beauty products launching in December.
