What Team STELLAR Is Loving This Week
Ho ho ho
It’s Christmaaaaaaaaaaas.
Or at least, it’s the last weekend before Christmas.
We’re in full festive mode here at STELLAR – here’s everything we’ve been loving this week.
… Festive hosting

Christmas is officially here – like, literally next week.
If you’ve got a whole load of hosting on your hands, you’ve probably already planned out what food to serve and what drinks to mix.
But what about the set up? M&S have some gorgeous home bits in store at the moment to make your Christmas soirée a little bit more special.
From table runners to cloth napkins to stunning glasswear for cheersing a prosecco (or two), your home can have a serious festive glow up this year.
Just don’t forget the poinsettia, obviously.
… Solid lip combos
Let it be known, I am in my lip combo era. And when a new ones comes across my makeup bag, I simply have to wear it day in and day out.
My latest is from minimal makeup brand et al – a gorgeous, creamy lip liner in the shade Chai followed by a Gloss Balm Lip in the shade Blush.
The result is a hydrating yet striking lip combo just perfect for the festive season – and beyond.
… Delicious protein
Pudding… but make it protein. Profeel’s range of puddings and milkshakes have landed in Ireland, and as a gal who definitely needs a bit more protein in her diet, I’ve been enjoying them a lot.
The silky smooth shakes and desserts come in flavours like vanilla & meringue and strawberry ice cream – making them the ideal midday snack, breakfast treat, or dessert at the end of the day.
Pop one in your gym bag after your work out sure, why not.
… A serious games night

If you’re hosting this festive season, you’d wanna make sure you’ve got a games night sorted.
To celebrate the festive season, Centra have created a Monop-Deli board game. The game celebrates the brand’s deli heritage and the role snacks play in festive get-togethers.
The launch is paired with a delicious range of festive food – from healthy treats to tasty tipples and seasonal favourites.
While 66% of adults agree the ‘right crew’ takes top priority when organising a games night, 53 think a stellar snack table is the key – and we have to agree, naturally.
… A New Year’s soirée
Looking for something to do for New Year’s that isn’t being wedged in a pub or sat at home?
This New Year’s Eve, The Ivy on Dublin’s Dawson Street will ring in 2026 with an indulgent, sparkling celebration, featuring a special €125 menu paired with Veuve Clicquot Champagne.
There’ll be an exciting new year countdown as the clock strikes midnight, as well as a menu featuring decadent dishes like Prawn Cocktail with Caviar, John Stone Fillet Steak with truffle chips, and a Dubliner Whiskey Crème Brûlée.
Sounds divine, honestly.
