  • World's Greatest Dad

    In the final episode of our holiday season, Bonnie sits down with her friend and Elf castmate, Kat Brunner, to talk about losing her “ultimate girl dad.” Kat shares how her family keeps his memory alive during the holidays and the special ways she felt his presence at her wedding. They also dive into what it’s like to lose a parent during your teenage years—a topic that Bonnie and Kat think is so important to talk about. It’s an honest, heartfelt conversation about grief, love, and the connections that never really go away, even during the most joyful (and sometimes tough) time of year.
