Anyone who has watched the original Gossip Girl [1] knows that some of the best episodes were the holiday-themed ones. The Thanksgiving episodes were iconic, but there were a handful of fun Christmas ones as well. There's nothing like holidays in the city, after all. While we couldn't get enough of all the drama that came with these episodes, we also obsessed over all the fashionable outfits [2]. Who can forget all the incredible formal dresses during the annual Snowflake Ball? You can count us in for 2000s holiday looks.
Though the latest Gossip Girl reboot features a ton of new, bold fashion statements [3], you can never go wrong with a stylish reference from the OG. Blair Waldorf was famous for going with something classic [4], while Serena always managed to do something more extravagant [5]. If you're looking for inspiration for your own holiday outfit [6], keep reading for some of the best looks from the original Gossip Girl ahead.
