Sandra Lee and Ben Youcef are traveling for the holidays!
The Food Network diva, 57, and her actor-producer boyfriend, 44, hit up plenty of festive spots on their European vacation — and showed off some PDA along the way.
The lifestyle icon, who goes by “Aunt Sandy Claus” this time of year, documented their latest stop, Prague, in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Lee interspersed photos of festive scenes in the Czech capital with sweet photos of her and Youcef, starting with a photo of the couple at a Christmas market and ending with a photo of the couple kissing.

In the description, she told something about their journey and revealed that she had wanted to travel to Prague for a long time because her grandfather was Czech.
“Wow, that’s really amazing! The city measures up against all the greats,” Lee wrote. “It is an absolute beauty, steeped in great history and sharing all the magic of medieval times. It’s simply WOW! And I just love it!”
She went on to say that she and Youcef “came to the Christmas market, but they’re leaving with a lot more,” and she wants to return to the city “very soon.”

Before their stay in Prague, Lee and Youcef — who started dating in the summer of 2021 — also traveled to Budapest and Vienna.
In Budapest, where the couple started their European tour, she shared another post full of scenes, selfies and smoking.
“Merry Christmas from Budapest, our first stop,” she wrote in the caption. “What an enchanting city and such wonderful people. The Christmas markets here are magnificent with local handicrafts, from candles and soaps to amazing sweets and wonderful mulled wines.”

Elsewhere in her European travel posts, Lee returned to her cooking roots by sharing a tribute to a new favorite snack: “huge” and “crunchy” cookies served with cheese and sour cream.
The couple first stepped out together at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery for the Portrait of a Nation gala in November 2022. The red carpet marked their first outing since Youcef’s divorce was finalized, a source told PEOPLE at the time. Lee ended her 14-year relationship with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in September 2019.
PEOPLE first confirmed that the TV star and father-of-two were dating in August 2021. They first met as friends at a restaurant in Santa Monica a few months prior.
