Rachel Brosnahan and the American Express Cash Magnet® Card Help Conquer the “Stress to Impress” This Holiday Season with Simple Recipes and Hosting Hacks

Emmy and Golden Globe winner Rachel Brosnahan and the American Express Cash Magnet^® Card have joined forces this holiday season to help Millennials keep it simple and eliminate the “stress to impress” associated with holiday hosting.

According to a recent survey commissioned by American Express¹, more than a third of Millennials feel the “stress to impress” and don’t host because it takes too much time to plan and the pressure to keep everyone entertained.

Millennials want to hone their hosting skills

• 42% prefer being a host and get joy from planning and bringing people together.

But they feel the pressure

• 36% say they don’t host because of the pressure to entertain.

Many “fake it” until they “make it”

• 35% describe themselves as a “Store-Bought Star,” never having time or recipe ideas to cook at home.

To help simplify holiday hosting this year, Rachel and American Express developed a collection of simple recipes and hacks designed to help make hosting a little less daunting -- even for the greatest “Store-Bought Stars.” And with the Cash Magnet Card, it’s even easier to keep it simple with unlimited 1.5% Cash Back on purchases. Terms apply.

The collection features a variety of simple recipes and hacks from Card Members including quick and delicious appetizers and desserts, easy DIY tablescapes and Rachel’s family’s favorite four-ingredient cheese mound recipe.

Each recipe and hack may be downloaded individually or as a complete collection below.
