Heidi and Joel wrap up the year with a conversation with Sister Simone Campbell, a Catholic Nun and 2022 recipient of the medal of freedom award, who shares her experience traveling across the rural South and the importance of taking the time to talk to people about what unites us. Then Joel and Heidi reminisce about the best and worst Christmas presents they ever received, and the Hot Dish pays a visit to O&H Bakery in Racine, Wisconsin, where owner Eric Olesen has turned a small-town Kringle-making operation into a mail order phenomenon. Finally, members of the One Country Project share some of their favorite foods and holiday traditions.
