For a New Year's Eve that truly glitters, consider adding a little sparkle to your party menu. With the help of a few sprinkles here and some gold leaf there, these treats are all getting the gilded treatment. Whether you're hosting an intimate dinner party or a casual cocktail soirée, your guests will flip for these dazzling bites. Pop a bottle of Champagne (or a few!) and let your party shine.
Champagne Ice Cream: Homemade ice cream gets a stylish upgrade with a dose of sparkling wine. We'll happily cheers with a dish of this, which gets its silken texture from the addition of cream cheese. (via Brit + Co)
Angel Food Cupcakes: These fluffy angel food cupcakes are topped with a snowy layer of white chocolate buttercream. Bedazzle them with a handful of gold sprinkles and arrange them on your prettiest plate. (via Natural Comfort Kitchen)
Sparkly Fortune Cookies: Offer your guests dressed-up fortune cookies to give them a look into the new year. Pass them around with coffee at the end of dinner to keep up the fun conversation. (via Brit + Co)
Glittery Gold Chocolate Dipped Oreos: These decked-out Oreo cookies are super simple but look gorgeous on a dessert table. Quickly dip in melted chocolate, then follow the suggestions for decorating with gold pearls, sparkly lustre dust, and gold leaf. We think they'd be pretty cute alongside tiny shots of milk. (via The Spruce)
Golden Cotton Candy: Transform butterscotch candies into candy floss (as long as you have the right machine). Sprinkle it with plenty of edible gold flakes to make it even more festive. (via Brit + Co)
Gold Macarons: This hack for decorating store-bought macarons with edible gold leaf is easy and elegant. Your guests may think these cookies are (almost) too pretty to eat. And you can keep this trick in your back pocket for DIY hostess gifts. (via Sugar & Cloth)
White Russian Cake Pops: The best cake pops are the ones spiked with Kahlua and vodka and covered in gold sprinkles. Yes, it's a thing, and you need them to ring in the new year. (via Brit + Co)
Oreo Olallieberry Chocolate Cake: This showstopping cake is stuffed with Oreo cookies, slathered in a berry buttercream, and glazed in a dark chocolate ganache. It's wintry and romantic and a little bit moody, all in one. (via Desserts for Breakfast)
Champagne Gummy Bears: These festive DIY gummy bears are destined for NYE, but also work for weddings, showers, or any special occasion. Pop a couple into a glass and top with Champagne, or pack them into glassine or cellophane bags as party favors. (via Tastemade)
Rose Watter Glitter Cake: For a standout centerpiece, look no further than this glittering cake, delicately laced with rosewater. It's topped with a pile of gold-dusted raspberries, which we think would be a welcome addition to just about any dessert. (via Spoon Fork Bacon)
Glittery Popcorn: Top your popcorn with edible glitter and serve it in individual containers for a fun party treat. We love the idea of handing these out to guests upon arrival, along with a glass of bubbly. (via Nicest Things)
Glittery Donuts: These sparkling donuts are clearly destined for more than just breakfast. Pick up a box of glazed at your local shop and dust them in edible glitter or gold sprinkles. Break them out right after midnight, and your guests will have one more thing to toast. (via Gemini Photography Ontario / Style Me Pretty)
Gold Spun Sugar Cupcakes: Classic vanilla cupcakes are anything but boring with a spun-sugar topping. For a dessert with major wow-factor, these can't be beat. (via Style Me Pretty)
Disco Truffles: We love these indulgent chocolate-covered brownie truffles, which can be made up to a week ahead of time. Set one or two at each place setting for a decadent table decoration. (via Sugar Hero)

'Sullivan's Crossing' Season 3 Is On Its Way! And The "Emotionally Charged" Episodes Are Coming SOON.

Sullivan's Crossing season 2 just wrapped up on The CW, but we're not saying goodbye to any of our favorite characters just yet — at least, I hope so. I've been worried sick about Sully (Scott Patterson) since the finale ended with him trapped in the diner as it went up in flames, but Deadline confirms Sullivan's Crossing season 3 will premiere in 2025, meaning we don't have to wait multiple years to reunite with Maggie (Morgan Kohan), Cal (Chad Michael Murray), and the rest of the gang — and find out what happens to Sully (like SOME shows).

Here's everything we know about Sullivan's Crossing season 3, coming in 2025 and starring Morgan Kohan & Chad Michael Murray.

Will there be a season 3 for Sullivan's Crossing?

Yes, Sullivan's Crossing season 3 is on its way! “We are so excited to return to Sullivan’s Crossing next year for a third season,” Brad Schwartz, CW's President, tells Deadline. “Roma, this talented cast, and the entire creative team have built an incredible world full of emotionally charged storytelling that has resonated with viewers over the last two years. And tonight’s season finale includes a can’t-miss cliffhanger that will leave fans clamoring for more.”

Showrunner and executive producer Roma Roth (who's also behind Virgin River) expressed how excited she is to return to the Crossing too! “I am beyond thrilled that we get to continue telling this beautiful story about love and family with this extraordinary cast,” she says. “The love and support from both the fans and The CW has been overwhelming, and we can’t wait to show them what we have in store next.”

How to watch season 3 of Sullivan's Crossing?

Sullivan's Crossing season 3 will premiere on The CW in 2025! You can watch seasons 1 and 2 on The CW now (and rewatch until new episodes drop).

What happened in the Sullivan's Crossing season 2 ending?

Y'all know it's never a dull day at the Crossing (like seriously, can we please give Cal, Maggie, and Sully a BREAK?). In the Sullivan's Crossing season 2 finale, Sully and his friends successfully win the auction for the Crossing, meaning it's staying in the family (along with Sully's new partners Frank and Edna) and not going to Glenn.

Maggie finally tells Cal she's in love with him and they share the kiss we've all been waiting for. But before the episode ends, the group learns that the diner's caught on fire — and Finn and Clover are trapped inside. Sully and Cal run inside to get everyone to safety, and while Cal returns with Finn in tow, Sully remains inside as an explosion goes off. ("You have got to be kidding me," we all say in unison.) After so much back-and-forth in his relationship with Maggie, we can't say goodbye to him yet! But we'll have to wait for Sullivan's Crossing season 3 to see just what happens.

A New Glen Powell Erotic Thriller Is Coming & PLEASE Take All My Money

Glen Powell is the gift that keeps on giving, TBH. From his viral Anyone But Youpress tour to his iconic Twisterscowboy-in-the-rain scene, it's Glen Powell's world and we're all just living in it. Thankfully, the Glen-iverse is expanding with a new movie, and it's set to be spicier than ever. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Homewrecker, the upcoming erotic thriller, just officially landed at a production company, finally making Glen's new movie a reality. Wanna know more? Let's get into it!

Here's everything to know about Glen Powell's upcoming erotic thriller, Homewrecker!

Not too much is known about Homewrecker — other than that it's an erotic thriller. The film is based off of an unpublished story by Neil M. Paik (Reawakening, Rainbowfish) that's only three chapters long.
The Hollywood Reporterbroke the news that Legendary won the bidding war for Homewrecker this week. According to the outlet, there was "a seven-figure outright purchase" for the film rights and "a seven-figure arrangement" to have Paik write the screenplay.
With that deal in place, Glen Powell is set to star and produce this project, with Paik writing the script. So far, everything else is very under wraps, but here's what I do know:
  • Glen Powell is one of the most charming men in Hollywood, so I know he's gonna bring that charm to new heights in this film — even if they're slightly sinister heights!
  • Glen Powell in the rain in Twisters (yes, it's the second time I'm brining this up — it's fine) was so hot, and he wasn't even doing anything actually hot...just imagine the erotic thriller possibilities here!
  • IMAGINE YET ANOTHER GLEN POWELL PRESS TOUR?
Basically, all this goes to say, the girlies stay winning when it comes to Glen Powell. 🙌 Can't wait for more updates on this very exciting project!
