Holiday hosting is basically a full-contact sport. One minute you’re hanging stockings, the next your preschooler gets their hands on the Wi-Fi password, the dog is breezing out a door left ajar, and the mid-mental health stroll panic epiphany that you left the stove on is hitting. Peace of mind? Never met her.

But with Verizon’s Smart Home tools, mom gets the ultimate gift: the quiet thrill of having everything under control. Digital Secure Home Plus shields every device connected to your home network from scammers and cyber threats, while the Verizon Home App lets you wrangle guests, screen time, and Wi-Fi access in one place.

Because as a hostess with the mostess during the festive season, you deserve fewer fires to put out (and way more cookies to eat).
