A holiday message from Cosmopolitcs

Our year's biggest sale, a blow out year-ender and what's in store for 2026

Merry Christmas Cosmopolitans!

I hope you’re all enjoying wonderful time with loved ones. Our chaotic world doesn’t stop for the holidays, but it will still be there next week!

Relax and rest up - because next Monday at 5:30p ET, Danielle Pletka are hosting a Hot Takes Happy Hour year-end blow out. The year’s top stories, personalities, and a look ahead to 2026. Plus a special holiday cocktail. Hope to see you there!

Holiday special: 30 percent off annual subscriptions

For the holidays, I’m offering our biggest sale of the year: 30 percent off an annual paid subscription before January 2. Unlock our full archive of nuanced foreign policy analysis and exclusive subscriber-only content, all for less than the cost of a coffee a month.

Need a last-minute present? A gift subscription is a wonderful holiday gift for that Cosmopolitan in your life. They’re also discounted at 30 percent!

What’s Ahead in January

The new year will bring more frequent posts and interviews, quick updates on breaking developments, deeper analysis of long-term trends, and video content. Plus our weekly show launch, discussion events, and a foreign affairs book club.

Thank you for being part of Cosmopolitics. I’m truly grateful for our community. Together, we’re creating something essential: a space for the kind of serious foreign policy discussion our democracy needs.

Warm wishes to you and yours for a happy holiday and a wonderful new year.

With gratitude,

Elise
