In her first holiday special, public television's favorite Italian-American cook, Lidia Bastianich, tells her five grandchildren about the Christmases she celebrated in her native Italy. As a child, Lidia spent the holidays with her grandparents, where she learned to cook with her Nonna Rosa in their smokehouse and kitchen. Told through live-action and animation, this delightful special NONNA TELL ME A STORY is filled with Lidia's Christmas traditions, delicious recipes and decorating ideas, all perfected over the years by Lidia and her family.
