The holidays are here. Some people can’t wait to open their doors, set the table, and yell, “Come on in!” Others would rather show up with a pie and sneak out before the dishes.
So which DISC style is the most likely to play holiday host? Let’s take a look at each one through the Extended DISC®® lens.
DISC holiday host styles
D-Style: The Bold Host
If a D-Style is hosting, you’ll know it. They’ll send out the invite weeks ahead with clear instructions: “Dinner at 6. Don’t be late. Bring dessert.” Their house might look like a holiday magazine spread but don’t you dare rearrange the seating chart. D-style’s like to be in charge, and hosting gives them the perfect stage to run the show.
I-Style: The Fun Host
Think music, laughter, and way too many people crammed into the living room. That’s an I-Style party. The food might not be perfect (was that turkey supposed to be fully cooked?), but no one notices because the vibe is so fun. I-style loves hosting because it means friends, family, and maybe even a few strangers get to connect. The more, the merrier!
S-Style: The Cozy Host
S-Styles are the heart of holiday hosting. They’ll make sure everyone feels comfortable, included, and well-fed. You’ll probably leave with leftovers and maybe even a knitted scarf. Hosting for an S-style is about creating harmony and tradition. They’d never let anyone sit alone at the table, and they’ll quietly refill your cup before you even ask.
C-Style: The Perfect Host
Every fork is lined up. Every candle matches. The C-Style host has researched the best brining method for turkey and has a spreadsheet for cooking times. Their holiday table is Pinterest come to life. Hosting might feel stressful for a C-style, but they secretly like the challenge of getting every detail just right.
And the winner?
Honestly, all four styles can shine as holiday hosts, just in very different ways. No matter your style, the holidays need every type of host. After all, what’s a gathering without someone to lead, someone to energize, someone to comfort, and someone to keep the gravy from spilling on the table runner?
