On this episode of Dare To Date Me Podcast, Marla & Max discuss mistletoe, matching pajamas, and maybe meeting the parents?! Or… maybe not! Because nothing says ‘holiday stress’ like trying to remember your new partner’s dog’s name and your uncle’s opinions about eggnog.

Marla & Max will be diving into the festive frenzy of dating during the holidays! Should you bring your new boo home for turkey and awkward family questions? What’s the right gift when you’ve only been dating a few weeks? And how do you keep your heart—and your sanity—intact while juggling new love and holiday chaos? Helping us sleigh this topic—see what I did there?—is the fabulous Maria Lynette, a certified dating coach who knows exactly how to navigate love when the twinkle lights are blinding and emotions are running high.

So grab your cocoa, cozy up under that weighted blanket, and let’s talk holiday heartbeats, family drama, and first-love gift-giving gone wrong.
