Brian talks about the features of the 2021 HGTV Dream Home in Newport, RI, explains to Kat what Americana means, and the challenges of designing during a pandemic. Then everyone gets real about creativity, criticism, and how to rise above online hate when your work is on social media.

On this very first episode of HGTV Obsessed, hosts Kat and Mike Stickler interview Albie Mushaney - the World’s Strongest Santa and host of You’ll Be Home for Christmas on HGTV. So, what came first - the strong man or the santa? Albie talks all about his journey of finding better health and how it led him to become a Christmas icon. His passion for inspiring and helping others paved the way for him to work with HGTV to bring deserving families some extra cheer - and a home - just in time for the holidays. After he gives Mike some serious workout tips, find out what Santa really thinks about non-Christmas holiday trees on our favorite segment: Defend the Trend. Then, a listener calls in to ask HGTV star David Bromstad if their roommate is being practical, or just a grinch.
