Back in my BuzzFeed era I had an advice column, "Hey Stephen," where thousands of internet strangers DMed me for advice. I ended the column in 2023, and these days most of the advice I give is unsolicited. But for the holiday season, I've decided to bring the column back — this time on my own turf. I was proud to build something popular for BuzzFeed, but I'm excited for this new chapter where I can own my own work.

I'm launching with FROSTED TIPS, a limited-run advice column dedicated to solving all your holiday problems. New issues weekly from now 'til New Years. If you like Christmas movies, you'll love Christmas emails. I hope you'll subscribe at the link below — it would be a nice holiday gift for me, and hopefully a fun little gift for you too.
