What are you most excited for this holiday season?
It is my favorite time of the year! I love decorating the house, all the cooking, the giving spirit and most importantly time with family—family that we usually don't get to see on an everyday basis.
Which items from the Target holiday assortment are on your wish list?
The Chi Blow Dryer and Flat Iron in Gold Chrome. I am always on the go, so a small blow dryer goes a long way in my suitcase, and I love the color gold. Just to fancy things up a bit!

Neighbor? Holiday Skillet Cookie. It doesn’t matter how well you do or don't know your neighbors, everyone loves a freshly baked, homemade cookie. So by gifting a Holiday Skillet Cookie kit, you really can’t go wrong.

Do you have any memorable holiday traditions?
Usually over the holidays I used to take a trip somewhere, but now that I’m a husband and father, it’s about creating new traditions as a family. It’s about those special moments at home, and we’re definitely going to have a tree. Having a kid changes everything.

What are you most excited for this holiday season?
There is nothing more exciting than going with my daughters to pick out our tree and gathering around it to add the lights and ornaments. This will be a great holiday season since Sofia is 17 months old and so curious. I can’t wait to see her with Mia and Camila enjoying this Christmas.

This holiday season will be especially meaningful since one of my biggest dreams since moving to the United States has come true: owning my own home.

One thing I may have to add to my list is the Rollplay Jaguar C-X75 Electric Car. If you’ve seen some of my posts on Instagram or Twitter, Owen loves just about anything with four wheels that moves.

Helping my family cook up a huge Italian feast on Christmas Eve. Then tucking in and watching It's a Wonderful Life, where I will inevitably proceed to cry my eyes out. When George's brother Harry raises a glass and toasts him as the richest man in town, I completely lose it. Every time. Every year. Don't judge.

In Sweden, there is a tradition on Christmas day observed by the whole country. We prepare a huge smorgasbord for Christmas dinner, including rice pudding which is normally dusted with cinnamon and has a hidden almond inside. Whoever gets the almond gets a task—for example, composing a thank you rhyme for the meal. Some say if a single man or woman finds the almond, it is a sign they would find true love in the coming year.
