We have a brand new design here at JoAnna Garcia Swisher Fan! This amazing layout was designed and coded by my friend Claudia at Never Enough Design.

JoAnna Garcia Swisher is no stranger to the screen, having starred in major television shows including Reba (2001-2007), Once Upon a Time (2011-2018) and Sweet Magnolias (2020-2023). She’s also starred in films like Revenge of the Bridesmaids (2010) and Hallmark’s As Luck Would Have It (2021).

But Garcia Swisher also has experience as a hostess for the holidays, which, as we all know, can get a little hectic. That’s why the star’s partnership with HoneyBaked Hams is perfect for the upcoming holidays so that she can stay focused on what really matters: friends, family and a delicious dinner.

Woman’s World had a chance to chat with the actress regarding her best tips on how to host the holidays and her favorite family traditions.

WOMAN’S WORLD (WW): What are your best tips for people hosting their own Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner for the first time?

JoAnna Garcia Swisher: I think keeping it simple, concentrating more on the moment rather than everything having to be perfect. And doing anything that you can to take things off of your plate and your to-do list, which is why HoneyBaked Hams are so essential on my table because it’s such a crowd pleaser. It’s the star of the show and HoneyBaked does all the hard work for you.

So, I think really just trying to simplify and making sure that you are concentrating more on the feeling and spending time together than you are on everything being perfect.

I host a lot. It’s one of my favorite things to do. And I find that the more you do it, the more experience you get with timing and all of those kinds of things, knowing exactly how much to buy and what you need. The checklist gets a little bit easier, but I never regret keeping it simple. I never regret taking a few things off of my plate, relying on things that I know are going to be crowd-pleasers.

This holiday season, HoneyBaked is partnering with Joanna Garcia Swisher, actress, tastemaker and co-founder of lifestyle destination The Happy Place to offer tips and advice to first-time hosts and experienced entertainers alike:

Let HoneyBaked Do the Cooking: “Cooking can be the most stressful part of the holidays,” Joanna says. “The Honey Baked Bone-In Half Ham is the star of the show in any holiday spread, and you can’t mess it up since HoneyBaked already did all the hard work for you.”

Set Your Table (or Counter!): “Guests will always gather around the food,” Joanna says. “While a beautiful table setting is always nice, an elevated buffet-style setup is a great way to keep things a little more casual and fun.”

Make-Ahead Mocktails & Cocktails: “A signature festive cocktail or mocktail makes any celebration feel more special,” Joanna says. “I like to prepare a batch before guests arrive so I’m prepared.”

“HoneyBaked is proud to be a part of cherished holiday traditions, both classic and new,” said McLaughlin. “We are excited to partner with hosting expert Joanna Garcia Swisher as she shares the meaningful traditions that have defined her holidays over the years, featuring our signature ham as the centerpiece.”

The Midnight Society made SNICK spooky — and changed the game for kids and horror.

Are You Afraid of the Dark?, the Nickelodeon horror anthology series, was one of the first to bring the genre to kids in a way that engaged and respected them. The show was focused on The Midnight Society, a group of tweens and teens who would gather around a campfire taking turns telling their scariest stories.

The tales shared on the show were adaptations of public domain fairy tales, urban legends and short stories that were brought to life by an impressive young cast that included Ross Hull, Daniel DeSanto and JoAnna Garcia Swisher.

Hull played Gary, head of The Midnight Society, from the pilot through the conclusion of the original series, returning for a cameo in the series’ first revival in 1999. DeSanto played Gary’s little brother, Tucker, who heads up The Midnight Society in the revival. Garcia Swisher played Sam, a tough girl also introduced in season 3 who had a soft spot for romance and would go on to date Gary later in the series.

Each character having their own interests and flair for storytelling is part of what made the series so intriguing for viewers. As Hull, DeSanto and Garcia Swisher tell PEOPLE, it made it special for the actors as well.

“I remember being really nervous because Sam was a tough girl and I mean I felt like it was taking on the role of a lifetime. I was like, ‘How am I going to pull this off?’ ” Garcia Swisher, 45, recalls. “But I loved it. She was a little rougher around the edges, at least in my mind, I found her to be.”

Like many moms of school-aged kids, JoAnna Garcia Swisher [Sweet Magnolias, Reba] spends a lot of her time in the car. Her daughters — Emerson, 11, and Sailor, 8 whom she shares with her husband Nick Swisher— are always off to somewhere. School, horseback riding lessons, cheer practice (“I’m officially a cheer mom!” she tells me on Zoom), but she doesn’t seem to mind too much. In fact, she relishes this time.

“Honestly, it’s my favorite time with the kids, and I talk to so many moms and dads that feel this way too,” she says. “My husband takes the kids to school in the morning and I pick up— Nick likes to pump them up for the day and gets all of their thoughts and motivation and I get the debrief on the way home because those first few minutes when they get in my car, I learn more than anything.”

So her fondness for this particular time and space made her recent partnership with Kelley Blue Book (KBB) — in connection with their list of 12 Best Family Cars of 2024 — a no-brainer.

“[Being in the car means] there’s no distractions and we’re there and it’s actual quality time,” she explains. (If you’re finding your car trips are less profound, never fear— KBB has released “Car-fessional” cards, open ended questions for your family discuss on your next drive. You can find them pinned on their Instagram profile.)

These daily conversations have also allowed the mom and actress to realize that even though her girls are only three years apart, the space between “11-year-old tween” and “still-a-kid 8” are profound.

“They’re both in very different stages,” she says. “And I don’t know that I would’ve said that a year ago … Emerson is fully in her tween era where conversations are different and things are changing and it’s really, actually…” there’s a little pause. “I didn’t know what I would think of this because when they grow up they grow up so fast. But I always want to keep them my baby.”

But babies don’t have the kind of “meaningful and thoughtful” conversations her eldest is now having. As much as she misses that baby phase, this new one is fascinating and beautiful.

“You can see her putting things together and how she views the world. And it’s just really interesting. … She’s really kind of come into this new confident little young woman and it’s just really sweet to see. And I am very excited for her.”

And Sailor, in the tradition of little sisters can’t wait to catch up.

But that’s not to say the sisters don’t have anything in common anymore. They both, for example, love watching their mom’s TV shows and movies.

“The stuff that I’ve done is pretty family friendly!” she says brightly. “They watched most of Sweet Magnolias, and they just got into Reba because it’s on Netflix.”

The faces are familiar. Garcia Swisher is still close with much of the cast of the show, and her girls have grown up with them as a sort of extended family. “It was exciting for them to see the people that they love so much that spoil them and love on them, see us all together… and me with blonde hair, that was also a highlight for them.”

Next up? Possibly Are You Afraid of the Dark, which Garcia Swisher was in when she was just a little bit older than Emerson. Maybe they can stream a few episodes together on their next road trip…

She may be forever ingrained in our brains as Reba’s Cheyenne Hart-Montgomery, but JoAnna Garcia Swisher is actually a 45-year-old mom with a busy fall. In between her back-to-school schedule and end of summer, Garcia Swisher caught up with us to talk her new car partnership, sensitive-skin musts and Reba glam secrets.

Why this partnership with Kelley Blue Book?
Kelley Blue Book has been a trusted resource for my family for a long time. When I heard they published the Best Family Cars of 2024 list, I was excited to spread the word. They understand that a car isn’t just something that gets us from place to place. We spend so much time in our cars, and that time is so precious. It has become a safe space for my family to have some of the most meaningful conversations.

Reba is such an iconic show. Are there any glam moments that have stuck with you from filming?
I have really enjoyed looking back on my years on the show and often find myself remembering exact outfits and pieces of jewelry so vividly. Cheyenne was such a fun character because of her bright blonde hair and the makeup looks we got to experiment with. Our hair and makeup room was one of my favorite places on the set. We all got ready together on tape nights, and it became a special space for us to have fun before we went out on stage.

What about Sweet Magnolias? Are there any products the crew always uses on set?
My makeup artist, Amber Crowe, and I had so much fun this past season. Amber really understands how to make everyday makeup look special and elevated. A lot of that starts with skin care. I don’t even want to know how many jars of the 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift and Firm Hydra-Gel eye patches from Peter Thomas Roth we went through! I would even wear them during my lunch break to keep me going throughout the day. Speaking of my under-eyes, YSE Beauty’s Wide Awake Brightening Eye Cream was a staple. Hydration is always a priority on long shooting days, and both of these products kept me and my makeup looking and feeling fresh even by hour 16!

Are there any beauty items you’ve used forever?
My Los Angeles–based aesthetician, Shani Darden, has a skin-care line that I’m very devoted to. I use almost all of her products religiously. They’re as gentle as they are effective, and they never irritate my sensitive skin.

What are you excited about as the kids go back to school?
This is an exciting year for both of my girls. My youngest, Sailor, started 3rd grade and just auditioned for the school play. They’re doing Beauty and the Beast, and she’s so excited! Emme, my oldest, started middle school and is thrilled because she signed up to take care of all the class pets. I love it because I don’t foresee a python, bearded dragon or rats joining our family anytime soon, so she can enjoy those critters at school this year!
