Even though the holidays are all about tradition, one ritual you can skip is dreading the stress of preparing a huge holiday meal. There's no need to feel overwhelmed by the planning, cooking and cleaning—your kitchen appliances can make things easier, leaving you with more time to enjoy with family and friends.
If you’re having guests overnight, make sure everything is fluffed, folded and smelling fresh before they arrive. The mountain of sheets and towels won’t do themselves, but a great washer and dryer can make the job easier. The King-Size Capacity High-Efficiency Top Load Washer brings 4.5 cu. ft of capacity, more than two full laundry baskets of clothes per load—and cleaning is ultra-quiet with exclusive VRT™ technology. 
Drying is just as easy with the King-Size Capacity Top Load Dryer, too. With 7.3 cu. ft. of capacity plus eleven unique cycles tailored to item types and fabric, laundry dries optimally and quickly. Plus, Sensor Dry technology helps you manage time by adjusting drying time based on the state of laundry inside.
The King-Size Capacity Touchscreen LCD Front-Load Washer is also a good choice to handle laundry before and during your guests’ stay. Not only can you monitor each load with your smartphone through a special app*, laundry is cleaned fast with SpeedSpray™ technology and more thoroughly with PowerFoam™, no matter the size of the load. The matching King-Size Capacity Touchscreen Front Load Dryer also gives you Smart Control using your smartphone*, plus the unique Steam Dry function freshens clothing, relaxes and wrinkles and helps remove odors—an important feature for those sheets and towels that may have gotten musty in the closet waiting for holiday company.
Let your most important kitchen appliance be the secret hero of the holidays. With the right fridge and a little planning, you can prep, store, and organize for the most important event: the big feast. The 31.6 cu. ft. French Door Refrigerator brings more than enough room to stay organized and save time by prepping ahead—not to mention the extra storage for leftovers afterward. The exclusive CoolSelect™ pantry gives you multiple drawers to separate dishes and create custom temperature settings, so you not only preserve each course optimally, but avoid mixing flavors. Plus, 12 lb of ice storage** is more than enough for the entire family.
When it comes time to prepare the holiday dinner, you’ll need a few great family recipes and the right appliances to make sure every course is the best it can be. The Speed Oven goes a long way toward saving you time and cooking your favorite dishes just right. With the innovative convection and microwave heat, you can bake, broil, microwave and toast—which covers most every holiday dish. Plus, the Speed Oven fits above and illuminates your conventional oven range, and adds a dimension of quick cooking methods to juggle the entire meal.
The Flex Duo Oven and Range is another absolute must-have for the holidays. Also designed with convection technology, Flex Duo has a unique feature: two ovens in one. That means you can transform the single cavity oven into two, and cook two dishes at the same time, at completely different temperatures. The electric cooktop is also a master of multitasking with five burners, and the separate warming drawer is ideal for breads and keeping prepared dishes warm and ready to serve.
Once the meal is over, the real work begins. Unless, of course, you have the right kitchen appliance: the Samsung 24” Dishwasher. Ultra-quiet and efficient, it only uses 4 gallons of water per load, this dishwasher has adjustable inner racks for dishware, pots and pans. 
Plus an integrated hard food disposal system, so there’s no more pre-washing your dishes— carry them straight from the table and they’ll still be clean.
Even if you don't have family members and friends to pitch in with the holiday food prep and cleanup, you can always rely on your team of Samsung appliances.Finally, once the holidays are over and your guests have left, you’ll want to give your home another thorough cleaning. The compact and innovative MultiChamber Vacuum System makes the process of cleanup easy and quiet. With its unique multichamber design, it provides up to 99.5% dust separation***, while the smart dust sensor automatically detects dirt on surfaces and adjusts suction accordingly. It also includes the PowerBrush, an attachment that can reach into tight spaces, like the nooks and crannies around furniture and home theater systems.
