For the girls' first Christmas at the academy, Oprah teams up with party planner extraordinaire Colin Cowie—who is known for his attention to detail—to ensure that the girls have the most beautiful Christmas dinner possible.

"When we walked into the dining room, it was so beautiful," Lesego says. "Usually with my family we don't have Christmas trees because they're so expensive, and we had, like, this huge Christmas tree. It looked stunning."

Oprah makes sure her girls have the best food possible, bringing in her favorite chef, Art Smith, to cook up a holiday feast the girls will never forget.
