In the caption of the photo, Katie opened up about her favourite things to do in the holiday season, as she promoted Meiomi Wine, who are donating some of their profits to charity over the festive season.
She wrote: "This holiday season may be one like no other, but that won’t stop me from carrying on my favorite traditions at home.
"Decorating cupcakes, listening to my favorite holiday music, and opening a (much needed!) bottle of @MeiomiWines Pinot Noir.
"Even better, Meiomi is donating to organizations supporting those affected by California wildfires this year, so I feel good about gifting a bottle to my loved ones. #MyMeiomi #MeiomiPartner For21+."
